In these posts I will share my research on participatory sensing, open data and smartcities that I started about 6 months ago. Information technology has become a ubiquitous presence. By visualizing the processes that underlie our interactions with this technology we can trace what happens to the information we feed into the network. 
In the space of 20 minutes a plastic bottle opener has been constructed by the Replicator --- a 3D printing machine capable of making objects up to the size... 
Circuits could be woven from conductive and semiconducting natural fibers... We want to see 3D printing, FabLabs and Hackerspaces become a regular feature--in addition to its other services--at every public library in the country. Thi... 
The Kinecthesia is a Kinect wired to a set of motors that allows the blind to navigate a room or open space, relying on feedback through the motors to assess objects in their path. 
Starting Black Friday, two U.S. malls -- Promenade Temecula in Southern California and Short Pump Town Center in Richmond, Va. -- will track guests' movements by monitoring the signals from their cell phones. 
(PhysOrg.com) -- The Kilobots are coming. Computer scientists and engineers at Harvard University have developed and licensed technology that will make it easy to test collective algorithms on hundreds, or even thousands, of tiny robots. HoloDesk is a novel interactive system combining an optical see through display and Kinect camera to create the illusion that users are directly interacting with 3D graphics. A virtual image of a 3D scene is rendered through a half silvered mirror and spatially aligned with the real-world for the viewer.
Social scientists are trying to mine a world of Internet data to predict political crises, revolutions and other forms of economic and social instability. 
MIT Lincoln Laboratory researchers have developed a new radar system that looks through walls. |
Mit 3D-Druckern lassen sich dreidimensionale Objekte herstellen. 
An orchestra that plays music based on measuring brain waves has made its debut. 
Unless you're directly involved with the maker movement, it's easy to miss how much fun its developers have. And they're not just enjoying t... Cubify | 3D Systems' Cubify™ combines coloring book simplicity with cloud gaming fun to deliver a simple and fun create-and-make experience in... 
Consumer-based Internet technologies are morphing into new uses in energy conservation, transportation, health care, traffic management and food distribution. 
Lumus provides a new dimension for the human visual experience. Enriching human vision with completely natural-looking, see-through eyewear based on breakthrough LOE technology, Lumus is generating a paradigm shift in display technology. This is just the beginning (missing the sparkle in the eye; the rest looks absolutely perfect) 
Bringing us a step closer to a Terminator-style augmented-reality display, University of Washington engineers have constructed an experimental contact lens... 
Epson Japan announced [JP] the so-called Moverio today, a see-through 3D head-mounted display (HMD), which is the first of its kind, according to the company. 
Emails and text messages could be read on contact lenses linked to the 
Internal Homeland Security document indicates a program to predict criminal intent is being tested on members of the public, raising questions about whether it's a bit too close to a real-life Minority Report. 
Once a secret project, Google's autonomous vehicles are now out in the open, quite literally, with the company test-driving them on public roads and, on... |
