Re: [kidsUI] Developers?

Hi!

Yes, it is meant for collaborative work, but the graphics is quite good and I
think their model of perspectives (first-person, third-person point of views)
can serve as a starting point to the stuff we were talking about.

About me, I'm a Ph.D. student in Cognitive Science. I'm interested in Software
Agents and the way they can be represented in interfaces.  I'm interested in the
topic of kid UIs because I see it as a good place to start "agentify"-ing UIs. I
guess you could make out that! :-)
