My friend Reto Wettach is looking for an Interaction Designer, who would like to play a major role in an academic project – sponsored by the industry.

The project investigates tactile interaction with mobile devices and Retto is looking for somebody who is familiar with the status-quo in this area (research and art) and who is also able to conceptually develop new interaction design ideas and implement them with what he calls “just-enough-prototyping”-techniques (as e.g. video prototyping and physical computing).

The project will be starting as soon as possible and taking place in Berlin. You can contact Reto: wettach (a) fh-potsdam.de

Now something to make you want to work with Reto: I met him when he was teaching at Interaction Design Ivrea but he’s been in the field of Interaction Design for quite a while, first with IDEO in San Francisco, then with Sony in Tokyo. Now he’s teaching Interface Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam, Germany and heading the Interaction Design Lab IDL.

He is also interested in weird places and little adventures. With his partner Michaela Vieser he published an amazing book on Overlooked Sights in Germany (it’s in english and german).
