Jean-Baptiste Labrune sent this link from Leah Buechley, who does cool things with fabric and electronics.
Comments closedTarikh Korula and Josh Rooke-Ley produced the Ybox, a device that produces TV overlays from the web, using a Lantronix Xport and a Parallax Propeller. Very nice project, very simple yet useful.
Comments closedThe Open Prosthetics Project is an open source project dedicated to the sharing and dissemination of knowledge on the construction of artificial limbs. This article by Quinn XXX summarizes it nicely.
Comments closedSketching in Hardware 1 (Sketching06) was a very useful workshop. Hosted by Mike Kuniavsky at the Ford Museum in Dearborn Michigan in June 2006, it was a meeting of a handful of microcontroller module developers, teachers, and hardware designers. There was much conversation about what makes good microcontroller hardware, how best to teach it, and what we can do to make some of the various platforms out there more interoperable. I won’t repeat everyone elses’s comments, but below are some of the links that have come up.

Comments closedIt talks in response to email messages, it wiggles its ears, and it lights up…. The nifty thing: they’re a product, and they’re less than $100.
Comments closedFrom their site: “NeuroSky, a fabless semiconductor/module company, has developed a non-invasive neural sensor and signal processing technology that converts brainwaves and eye movements into useful electronic signals to communicate with a wide range of electronic devices, consoles, and computers.” So far they haven’t got any links to an actual product for sale up.
Comments closedUbisense makes a real time locating system (RTLS) that can locate objects with 15cm accuracy in 3 dimensions. To do this, they attach a tag to each object that has a built-in radio, and a series of radio receivers around the space that they’re tracking in. The receivers receive signals from the tags, and triangulate their location based on readio signal strength.
One CommentLucas Cueni has a blog of various interactive projects, most of which involve multiple physical objects making up a larger image, physical pixel-style.
Comments closedGolan Levin gives a nice introduction to computer vision in this essay, including a little history of the use of CV in art, and examples of some of the tools and problems involved. For anyone beginning to look into computer vision from a non-engineering perspective, Computer Vision for Artists and Designers: Pedagogic Tools and Techniques for Novice Programmers is a good place to start.
