This semester we will be focusing on emerging technologies in different fields, specifically focusing on the user interfaces for those technologies. The acronym NBIC (Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Information technology, and Cognitive science) is used to encompass the areas of emerging technologies - we will be exploring primarily the I and C components with some attention paid to the N and B.
