| ||
 | | Smart City Cars—The design and build of a concept car that re-invents the car as a designed object, and redefines the user's relationship to the car and to the city.(more) |
| ||
 | | Serendipity—An application for mobile phones that can instigate interactions between you and people you don't know, but probably should. It can spark potential romances, connect new business partners, or introduce new customers. (more) |
| ||
 | | Topobo—A 3D constructive assembly system embedded with kinetic memory, and the ability to record and playback physical motion. (more) |
| ||
 | | WatchMe—A platform for mobile communication and awareness in the form of a watch. This project addresses mobile communication and awareness of people in a closely-knit group. (more) |
| ||
 | | What Was I Thinking?: A Personal Memory Aid—Records, analyzes, and indexes audio from conversations to identify the best memory triggers. It provides a suite of retrieval tools to help the wearer access memories after they have forgotten something. (more) |
| ||
 | | Nanogate—The nanogate is a micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) device capable of accurately and repeatably controlling the separation of a nanometer gap between two very flat surfaces. (more) |
| ||
 | | Critical Cartography—A Web-based interface that maps the location of surveillance cameras throughout Manhattan, allowing people to plot routes where they can avoid being filmed. (more) |
| ||
 | | Active Messenger—An agent that is capable of taking several steps over time to guarantee the delivery of a message, by trying multiple channels and awaiting possible user reactions. (more) |
| ||
 | | Smart Architectural Surfaces—A modular framework for building highly integrated and interactive "smart spaces," based on a self-organizing network of cells that form the surfaces. (more) |
| ||
 | | Open Mind Commonsense—An attempt to make computers smarter by allowing people all over the world to give computers the millions of pieces of ordinary knowledge that constitute "common sense"—those aspects of the world we understand so well that we take them for granted. (more) |
| ||
 | | Tribble—A one-foot diameter sphere covered in a sensate skin. Its whiskers are capable of multi-modal sensing (pressure, light, sound, and temperature) and actuation (glowing, purring, and making sounds). (more) |
| ||
 | | Tangible Viewpoints—Using wireless and tag-sensing technologies, interactive narratives can incorporate rich, haptic interactions with physical objects, combining them with the flexibility of digital multimedia content processing and delivery. (more) |
| ||
 | | Artifacts of the Presence Era—This piece ran at the Institute for Contemporary Art in Boston in 2003. The layers in Artifacts of the Presence Era tell a story about past events. The images and sounds produced at the ICA were captured and visualized as a growing, organic landscape that serves as an historical record. (more) |
| ||
 | | BEAT—Animators type into this system dialogue to be spoken by an animated human figure. BEAT then determines appropriate speech characteristics and actions to be performed by the character as it is speaking, resulting in a more realistic and human-like character. (more) |
| ||
 | | Open GIA—Open GIA highlights the discrepancy between the government's ability to monitor an individual's acitivities, and an individual's ability to monitor the government, providing citizens a means for civic action. (more) |
| ||
 | | Ripley—Ripley is a gripper robot that can learn to understand spoken language. He learns the meaning of words just as a child might—by looking at objects, manipulating them, and linking these experiences with spoken words. (more) |
| ||
 | | WearSAT—WearSAT stands for Wearable Situation Aware Terminal. It is an upgrade to the wearable communications system astronauts use during spacewalks on the International Space Station. (more) |
| ||
 | | Hyperscore—A software tool that can help anyone to compose music, regardless of musical training. Hyperscore is a central element in workshops and live performances for the Toy Symphony project. (more) |
| ||
 | | Illuminating Clay—This interface allows users to explore and analyze free-form spatial models in the domain of landscape design. (more) |
| ||
 | | ALF—This animatronic character is a low-cost but engaging plastic head with which children can interact for an easy-to-use introduction to programming and mechanical design. (more) |
| ||
 | | Public Anemone—This robotic creature is capable of moving naturally and expressively while interacting with its environment and with people around it. (more) |
| ||
 | | Dobie T. Coyote—Dobie looks like an animated hybrid of a wolf, a border terrier, and a coyote, but this little pup also represents a new system of real-time learning for autonomous synthetic characters like himself. (more) |
| ||
 | | Tap-Track Technology—The Responsive Environments group has designed, built, and fielded a system that locates the position of knocks and taps on a large sheet of glass. (more) |
| ||
 | | Cheese—A system that not only tracks the movement of a mouse across a Webpage, but also interprets these movements to discover the intended goals of the user. (more) |
| ||
 | | Electronic Control of Biomolecules—Prof. Joe Jacobson and his research group have developed a technique for externally controlling biomolecules, such as DNA, by covalently attaching nanocrystals that serve as antennae. (more) |
| ||
 | | Eyebox—EyeBox is a 3-D scanner made from a mini-fridge, a flat-panel display, three Webcams, and a turntable. A user can place any object less than nine inches on a side into the fridge, and it will be scanned in 3-D in about two minutes. (more) |
| ||
 | | IP Network Design Workbench—This system makes performance simulation tools more accessible during the IP Network design process. (more) |
| ||
 | | Cardiac PAF Detection and Prediction—Electrocardiogram (ECG) data is being analyzed using new spectrum estimation techniques to develop a program able to predict, as well as recognize, the onset of specific cardiac arrhythmias. (more) |
