This video is totally absurd. However, it shows that everything could get human characteristics if humans think hard enough. We humans want to be able to relate to anything, but I’m fairly certain humans and robots don’t have the same feelings. At least, not yet. If humans eventually wanted to program them to have feelings…

Neuroscientists develop the machines where handicapped people can operate their laptop. They just have to use their thought for using these types of machine. They can now easily send email, can easily turn on/ off lights. These machines develop by Wadsworth Center.

This abstract data visualization project interprets sound patterns of people having conversations. The screen functions like a graph and arranges data that is acquired by measuring the changing elements of speech between two people. It gauges and then displays dominance (which person is more assertive), interruption, and turn taking. Each ring and gap in the…

Similar to the “magic markers” that we used as kids, this installation uses personal interaction to reveal hidden images where the “marker” draws. This works with a tracking system on a camera that tracks the marker, or brush, of the user and then a projector draws a hidden image where the brush has been. This…

BUMS (Bathroom Utilities Management System) is a project which is designed to detect when anyone enters the room. It would then turn on the lights and then the pressure sensors on the door contacts will indicate if someone is still in the room. A PIR sensor is also used to do detect if anyone is…

This group of pieces is comprised rear projected screens or kiosks connected to video cameras and computers. When a viewer stands in front of one of these pieces, their image is reflected on the screen after it has been interpreted by the computer. The displays change rapidly yielding a smooth transition tightly linked to the…

This LED curtain really attracted my attention because I have done 4 LEDs in series and it took me forever, I couldn’t imagine having to do all of those and then have to program it so that it can display logos and words. This obviously took a long time to make and I personally like…

Vox Populi by Don Ritter is an interactive installation that features a responsive video of 28 people. These projected people urge observers to give a speech. The observer can then read a famous speech from the computer screen and the people on the video will respond according to how well the speech is delivered. The…

Well, perfect topic for this time of the year. How about a pumpkin outfitted with LEDs. Yeah, you’ve probably seen that and mabye done it. But throw in the ever-versatile Arduino platform and a really, really, really laud horn and now my friend you’ve just upped the Jack O’ Lantern modding possibilities considerably. MAKE’s Marc…

This is a japan water fountain built at a mall. I wonder how the were able to time the water out so that it made animal shapes.

A new type of chemical robot is on the horizon. The idea behind these is that conventional robots cannot squeeze through cracks or smaller openings, so the next logical step would be to build a “chemical robot” that could morph into whatever shape is desired–much like the T-1000 from the terminator movies, above. I’m curious…
