Lifelog...

블로그가 개인이 발행하는 작은 신문 정도에서 벗어나 메쓰미디어에 견줄 만한 힘을 가진 매체로 성장한지 꽤 오래 되었다.

가끔 세상 돌아가는 일이나 사람들의 관심사가 궁금할때 들어가 보곤하는 사이트 들이다...

Pianotouch
Demo Description:  PianoTouch is a part of Mobile Music Touch, which is a system designed to passively teach people how to play musical instruments, while they're doing other tasks such as working at their desk or reading on a long commute. The system consists of two parts: 1) a lightweight, wireless, tactile glove with a vibration motor for each finger, and 2) a mobile device such as MP3 player or cell phone. As the music is played on the MP3 player, the synced tactile glove vibrates the corresponding fingers in charge of playing the notes. Thus, a user can hear the music and feel it playing on their hands. A user can use this system to automatically rehearse piano, trumpet, sax, etc songs while going about their daily routines.

Wearable Tactile Displays
Demo Description: Tow types of wearable tactile displays, electro- and vibro-tactile displays, that generate directional tactile patterns on the skin will be presented. Unlike stationary desktop environment, people are often engaged in several tasks while they are on-the-go. In most mobile multitasking situation, the demand on the visual attention is relatively high. Due to the limited resources for human attention, the users have to shift their visual attention from the device to the environment frequently. Wearable tactile display is designed to reduce the need of visual attention to the users of mobile and wearable computing.

Mobiphos
Demo Description:  Collocated use of mobile phones is becoming more common. We have designed, built, and evaluated, a photo sharing application that enables synchronous sharing of photos taken by individuals in collocated groups (tourists, mobile classrooms, military coordination). This project has uncovered tensions in the way that today’s mobile technology is designed, built, and evaluated and illuminated the benefits of designing for group use of mobile devices.

Deaf911
Demo Description: The Deaf 911 system emulates an TTY (teletypewriter) on a cell phone providing deaf users with direct and easy access to emergency services. Deaf users can dial 911 from a cell phone and communicate with the 911 operator through an Instant Messaging style interface. The software TTY then encodes the text as TTY signals and sends it over the voice channel. Incoming TTY signals are decoded and displayed as text.

CopyCat
Demo Description: This project involves the design and evaluation of an interactive computer game that allows deaf children to practice their American Sign Language skills. The game includes an automatic sign language recognition component utilizing computer vision and wireless accelerometers. The project is a collaboration with Dr. Harley Hamilton at the Atlanta Area School for the Deaf.

iSign
Demo Description: This project involves the development and evaluation of a mobile content delivery system. Using small, unplanned moments throughout the day, we will endeavor to increase participants knowledge of American Sign Language vocabulary. This project also involves efforts assess the efficacy of content delivery to mobile phones and traditional, desktop-based systems.

Telesign
Demo Description: This project involves the design and evaluation of a mobile ASL phrase book to help Deaf individuals communicate with hearing individuals when performing tasks such as hunting for an apartment or taking a pet to the vet.

Child's Play
Demo Description: The Chi ld's Play project focuses on the design of technological tools to help increase the understanding of children's development through the exploration of toddler-object interaction. Specifically, this project embeds wireless sensors into children's toys to allow automatic recognition of different types of play behaviors allowing for potential characterizations of the child's developmental progress and retrospective analysis

Rapid Prototyping
Demo Description: With the variety of hardware needs that our lab has, we often find ourselves making what we can't buy. To aid in this, we have several tools that we commonly use to prototype everything from plastic parts to circuit boards. For plastic parts, we have a 3D printer than can print ABS plastic from a 3D model, as well as a laser cutter/etcher for cutting plexiglass, wood, paper, and fabric. Next, we have a full complement of surface-mount soldering tools - essential for assembling some of our smaller circuit boards. These have enabled us to develop our own series of wireless acceleration sensors tailored to our needs, measuring just one inch square. These sensors have been used in several projects, including Child's Play. Finally, we have a sewing setup for working with conductive textiles. This enables us to develop the flexible, wearable electronics, such as the wristband used in the EMMA project.
