Lab Meeting November 15th

Mark- was in boulder working on NSF proposal, John is visiting yay, was on a ph.d review panel for hci related thesis
Shawn- working on free universal construction kit with Golan
Karl- had a visitor, trying to flush out projects to work out next
Tobias- went to SF this weekend, working on suspenders
Ray- trying to finish raymatic for southern company, working on some data visualiztion methods for bodytrack
Charles- met with Karl and Shawn to talk about applications of EAP, working on video for music visualization
Gabe- made arrows, can recognize direction
Daiki- working on machine that follows a person type project for studio and wokring on projects for the CS classes
Huaishu- shot video for drum machine, built wireless shoes got good data! can classify 16 different activities
Eric- working more on getting business up and going, working on some projects at Disney, planning for futureCNC class
Deren- working on some origami table and hood, doing some PV cell and electrical stuff for puriflume project, met with people from CREATE about possible Haiti project, electronic/science kit for girls
Zack- building pneumatic actuators and switches for his 4D project, got an A- on his processing exam!, helping people CNC stuff
Yenchia- showed demo for shoes data, works well theoretically

John from Freecell visiting- really neat stuff- http://www.frcll.com/

Lab Meeting October 26th

- we want to know about more lectures! check out lectures post, add to it, maybe we should link up in subgroups of people that have similiar interests with design challenge or community events to??

Tobias: making glove bend sensor

Karl: starting to work on some new ideas, just got back from presenting at UIST, highlights: specklesense, touch using time domain reflectrometry, kinect 3d reconstruction:kinectfusion

Zack: made another intractable, gave presentation about thesis work/extensive project to pablo garcia's class. thinks it would be cool if we all gave a presentation about a project they are working on so we really learn more about each other

Huaishu: made a second drum machine, wrote a 2 page paper for TEI, made a user interface for bend sensor

Shawn: went to Art && Code, been reading up on making computers from slime mold, built microntroller for reprap, has been building 3D printer with madeline

Gabe: worked on constraint solver

Daiki: working on 3d object people counter visualizer project, trying to make it wifi

Deren: went to pgh mini makerfaire and art && code, reading about maps and grids and space

Mark: started construction on his new house, business is doing well but need to come up with cash flow problems, got a fancy altimeter, new ugrads who are interested

Yenchia- machine learning..., paper got accepted in CSCW! worked on drawing bot- made it wireless

lab meeting october 19th

Karl won an award! sidebyside press release came out. Are other people after awards, why is he the only one winning awards?


Shawn: got a digital microscope and has slime mold on both coasts, noticeable growth in just 5 minutes! made a 3 day time lapse movie, trying to figure out how it can be used for logic/computation visualization for some sort of kinetic interactive, does it eat? can you train it to grow in a pattern? how can it be used to combine robotics and biology? hacking an avr plane, pretty sweet stuff
Zack: got a wave shield and put it in his bend sensor glove project, reads up to 1 gb, works well with tilt sensor, will show us the glove soon
Deren: needs help with origami folding

Mark working on origami molecule project with the chemists
Nuno: went to toronto, niagra falls, finished first drum machine, the shoes sensor can sense direction of movement


General

display case: we got a small screen, what should we put on it? maybe ray can make the interactive picture frame installation?
tobias put up some the low cost bend sensors on inexpensivesensors.com

Lab Meeting October 12th

YenChia- worked on bike orchestra check it out under the work in progress tab
Eric- putting together propsal for class that uses Robot for CNC router in the spring with Karl, added some features to robot camera project
Ray-working on documentation, designing coding for search panning etc, hope to have a demo soon, lit review for phD research
Tobias- working on posture project with Nuno, got ok results, ordered material for bend sensors, programming visualization for this, going to work with undergrad COgSci student
Gabe- has started to think about how to model constraints and has been playing with jbox 2d, hopes to have demo for next week
Zack- working on making fixtures for robot in dFAB, working on some linear actuators and optimizing the system looking into hydraulics and pneumatics, going to try and combine linear and rotary encoders and play with k'nect
Deren- did stuff with VIA, went well, working on maps project/pachube
Daiki- using open CB to count people, trying to efficiently combine different kinds of information
Mark- did 5 reviews for TEI, finished a paper about Architectural Robotics, needs to make it longer
Karl- worked on presentation/video/website for new project, gave practice talk

Lab Meeting October 5th

Meeting Summary:

General: there is a korean CogSci student interested in being a part of the lab, she has wizard programming skills, do you think she could be involved in something you are doing??
Yenchia will add a log in to the website so we can all make changes easily
Send Deren project for Display case- wanna set up Plunk-O?


Gabe: got laser cutter working! needs a good 2D physics engine model to help sync actions in program
Mark: got altimeter worksing, needs to figure out how to make it into cheap, compace product and splic in audio signal
Tobias: 3D printed casing for module that shows time you spend at your desk, working on finishing fbook signal project
Zack- working with actuators for physical pixel project, trying to reduce energy consumption to get high input--> low input
Nuno- made prototype of shoes, working on drum machine
Yenchia- made prototype that makes the light changes color, calibrating pitch for violin
Charles: controlling actuators from arduino to see resulting behavior, going to explain "bigger picture" at a lab meeting sooon
Daiki- working with Dale on a new project
Ray- lit review, working on raymatic, Create lab had a retreat in Newel Simon, body track...
Deren- working on VIA stuff till saturday come help on saturday!, will have map project development to show next week
Karl- submitted a bunch of papers to CHI, went to NM we should all check out the magic lantern museum!
KJ- providence is awesome, Telart is very cool- AS220 is a cool fab/hacker/print/cafe space in Providence
