This is pretty incredible. Essentially this technology will allow two or more users to display and interact with different data sets, allowing for more intuitive one-on-one information sharing. The technology is still a bit off from physically being manageable, but the issues they are addressing with the software are excellent.

Ok, so this is more about being REALLY good at your job than about the LEDs or the technical aspects of what we’ve been working on, but I think it’s amazing. They did have to hook up battery packs to each sheep, and remotely turn them on for the fireworks effect, so that does require…

I found to tutorial that helps and introduced topics dealing with integrated circuits. The tutorials that I’ve seen have helped with the understanding of elements that are basic circuit builders on boards.

I found this to be a very cool video. The stuff that can be done with PD keeps blowing my mind. It very cool how he manipulated something that is free to all of us using PD. I actually think it sounds pretty good too. If i had a car i think i would want…

I thought this video was pretty cool. When I was building my circuits for the project, I never thought to use vegetables in a circuit. I just thought it interesting the things you can use in circuits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70gh5GrX4xI

This is a video from one of my favorite publications, Make Magazine. In it, host Bre Pettis joins up with a hardware hacker to create a circuit using an LCD display and a GPS system. They first show the coding and creation of the LCD screen to make it say whatever you’d like, and then…

I thought this was interesting because it utilizes the figure’s shadow to produce an obscure graphic effect. Probably one of my favorite installations by far, not only in terms of interactivity, but in effort and practicality.

Hokay, so I drive by this place a few times a week, and I’ve always wondered what it was. Some strange converted warehouse/garage looking place, with a rather nice sign across the front: DEADTECH. After fleeting dreams of genetically-enhanced embalming fluid and zombie training grounds, I stumbled across their website whilst idly searching (as I…

I thought this particular video was pretty interesting. It shows the interactions between the person with the wii remotes and the screen. It is shown with the different colors moving around on the screen. -Lori McDermott

This video shows how companies are utilizing new technology/media to persuade consumers into buying their products. This interactive billboard shows different images/compositions every time a person walks by. Consequently, potential consumers feel like attracted for two reasons: 1. it is aesthetically pleasing, 2. by showing different images every time, the approach is sort of personalized.

All musicians hope that when they play an instrument, there will be a reaction; this program seems to do just that. We’ve seen projects where movement created sound, but this time sound creates movement. PD GEM seems to have been programmed to play certain shapes and patterns of movement depending on the pitch and pattern…

This piece reminded me of those cool futuristic 3D computers seen in sci-fi movies. The enormous amount of information pertaining to each individual number baffled me when I first saw this. The animation portrayed and caused by physical interaction was also very interesting, in that each number effected by the animation represented a philosophical meaning…
