This is a project that a person did with Arduino and Parallax PING sonar sensor. It is a special instrument that can make sound without touching it. Therefore, when people make a certain amount of distance between the sonar sensor, it will come up to some different tones. As the vedio displays the “Jingle Bell…

Video has self-explanatory details. I dunno about yall, but I’m sure as heck gettin one!

This mower is totally excessive, but still really cool. Who needs their lawn constantly monitored and instantly mowed? However, solar powered lawn care brings me one step closer to my jetpack, and that’s always a plus. The system appears to be very user friendly. There is also a service plug for downloading new software updates…

Imagine driving down the street and you see this building going crazy. I am completely entranced by this building and the way the LEDs light up and make different colors. I wish the buildings in Chicago had this.

here are some pics from last class instalation. this is a pretty big in size (spans a 4 meter circular pond and is over 2 meters high) kinetic sculpture by Martin Smith. It is all about simplicity, repetion, rhythm and is ment to act as a meachanical reflection of the water below. It has movement…

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…
