About the session
How far we’ve come from punched cards! Interactions between computers and humans have become so natural and ingrained that we find our children using touchpad devices before they’ve mastered speech. But the frontier of human computer interaction is just that… still a frontier. The developments from both academia and industry promise revolutionary changes in the way we use smart machines. The CTO Roundtable brought together the leaders in human computer interaction technology for this year’s Summit.
The audience consisted of approximately 120 technology leaders from our area who attended on an invitation basis. With this audience, Summit side discussions were the added highlight of the evening.
