My article "Zombitron: towards a toolbox for repurposing obsolete smartphones into new interactive systems" is out !

📄 https://computingwithinlimits.org/2025/papers/limits2025-rigaud-zombitron.pdf

I present a high-level approach aimed at encouraging the practice of repurposing obsolete smartphones in the design of interactive systems, despite their complexity and heterogeneity. I discuss how such a tool can be integrated into creative practices and in particular into the design of music controllers.

It will be presented Thursday at #LIMITS2025

@clararigo oh interesting looking work ! Is there maybe an HTML version ? Works better for reading on a smartphone
@frox oh no not yet unforunately. ( I have the uncompiled Latex version if you want but I'm not sure it's better :) )
@clararigo hmm, I believe you can also output HTML from latex. Either within the latex ecosystem or using pandoc. I'm no expert though.

@frox
I had never try Pandoc it's great ! The HTML is here > https://www.clararigaud.fr/zombitronpaper/

However we lost all the citations I will work on that later :)
Thank you for the suggestion.

@clararigo oh thanks for that ! Added to my wallabag 😄
Seems to have given pretty good HTML, minis the citations
