It’s not often that you find informtion about how technology really works with uber nerdy device, or how it all seamlessly works together, in a simple way without all the text. Well I just stumbled upon Apple’s iPhone site again after reading about their new announcement on battery life and their move to glass from [...]
So our group decided to go with the shopping idea. Instead of having the user tote a list around, the list would be generated and remembered through a USB keychain. This keychain would be able to store, transact and record information the person’s consumption and purchasing habits. As a result, we can solicit [...]

I promise to update on my group’s progress. We are getting somewhere and it’s exciting! Lots of data visualizations and interesting spatial/temporal interactions.

Multi-touch screens are nothing new in the research world. If you don’t know what that is, just think of the new iPhone and using two fingers to “pinch” an image to shrink. Microsoft also has something similar when you manipulate a map with your hand gestures. This example is just more demonstrations of [...]
Before I go any further, I’d like to point out that our initial website is up: Pebble In A Pond
wtf does that mean?!
Simply, it is a metaphor of our purpose. A single pebble dropped into a calm pond, causes ripples to spread further and wider. There is a dualistic relationship here: One is that [...]
Thank you Gizmodo for sharing yet another interesting entry on bad ass technology. You have to admit, the scenarios illustrated in a elegantly stitched storytelling of vignettes is pretty frikkin’ cool. I’ve heard Intel is doing a lot of different kinds of work - yes they do more than just micro chips that [...]
Starting new projects are always fun and mysterious. The open endedness really allows you to explore crazy ideas and really see what the rest of the team is thinking. That kind of insight is really important, because it allowed me (and others) to see more of what drives our own thinking and perspective.
