It’s official! The panels for SXSW Interactive 2012 have been announced and Ammunition partner Matt Rolandson will be speaking.

The topic “Closer to One: Buddhism and the Internet of Things” is based on the ancient philosophy that all beings and objects are interconnected. As the not-particularly-spiritual leader of Ammunition's User Experience Design practice, Matt will participate in a panel presentation exploring how humans are being networked into the “Internet of things” and how we can design “enlightened” objects and services that enhance human connectedness. Co-panelists include Sara Öhrvall, head of Bonnier R&D, and Vincent Horn, Buddhist Geek and meditation teacher.

SXSW Interactive will run from March 9th-13th in Austin, Texas. Read the full description of the panel here.
