  • Inside the conductor's jacket : analysis, interpretation and musical synthesis of expressive gesture 
    Marrin Nakra, Teresa (Teresa Anne), 1970- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
  • Intelligent antenna sharing in cooperative diversity wireless networks 
    Bletsas, Aggelos Anastasiou, 1975- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
    Cooperative diversity has been recently proposed as a way to form virtual antenna arrays that provide dramatic gains in slow fading wireless environments. However, most of the proposed solutions require simultaneous relay ...
  • Intelligent cameral control for graphical environments 
    Drucker, Steven M (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
  • Interaction with embodied media 
    Merrill, David Jeffrey, 1978- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
    The graphical user interface has become the de facto metaphor for the majority of our diverse activities using computers, yet the desktop environment provides a one size fits all user interface. This dissertation argues ...
  • Interactively skimming recorded speech 
    Arons, Barry Michael (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
  • Interconnected musical networks : bringing expression and thoughtfulness to collaborative group playing 
    Weinberg, Gil, 1967- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
    (cont.) In order to addressee the latter challenge I have decided to employ the digital network--a promising candidate for bringing a unique added value to the musical experience of collaborative group playing. I have ...
  • The I/O bulb and the luminous room 
    Underkoffler, John Stephen (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
  • Isis, Cabbage and Viper : new tools and strategies for designing responsive media 
    Agamanolis, Stefan Panayiotis (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
    Responsive media are media that can sense and react intelligently to factors like presentation conditions or equipment, audience identity or profile, direct interaction, history or anticipation of involvement, and so on. ...
  • Learning discriminative models with incomplete data 
    Kapoor, Ashish, 1977- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
    Many practical problems in pattern recognition require making inferences using multiple modalities, e.g. sensor data from video, audio, physiological changes etc. Often in real-world scenarios there can be incompleteness ...
  • Learning the meaning of music 
    Whitman, Brian A. (Brian Alexander) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
    Expression as complex and personal as music is not adequately represented by the signal alone. We define and model meaning in music as the mapping between the acoustic signal and its contextual interpretation - the 'community ...
  • Liberated pixels : alternative narratives for lighting future cities 
    Seitinger, Susanne, 1978- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
    Lighting and illuminated displays shape our relations to urban environments and to one another at night and increasingly during the day by transforming what Kevin Lynch referred to as the "image of the city" (1964). Today, ...
  • Life patterns : structure from wearable sensors 
    Clarkson, Brian Patrick, 1975- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
    In this thesis I develop and evaluate computational methods for extracting life's patterns from wearable sensor data. Life patterns are the reoccurring events in daily behavior, such as those induced by the regular cycle ...
  • Low-cost electromagnetic tagging : design and implementation 
    Fletcher, Richard R. (Richard Ribon) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
    Several implementations of chipless RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags are presented and discussed as low-cost alternatives to chip-based RFID tags and sensors. An overview of present-day near-field electromagnetic ...
  • Low frequency indoor radiolocation 
    Reynolds, Matthew S. (Matthew Stephen), 1975- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
    This thesis concerns the application of electromagnetic wave propagation to the problem of indoor radiolocation. Determining the location of people and objects relative to their environment is crucial for asset tracking, ...
  • Machine perception and learning of complex social systems 
    Eagle, Nathan Norfleet (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
    The study of complex social systems has traditionally been an arduous process, involving extensive surveys, interviews, ethnographic studies, or analysis of online behavior. Today, however, it is possible to use the ...
  • Machine therapy 
    Dobson, Kelly E. (Kelly Elizabeth), 1970- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
    Machine Therapy is a new practice combining art, design, psychoanalysis, and engineering work in ways that access and reveal the vital, though often unnoticed, relevance of people's interactions and relationships with ...
  • Materializing interaction 
    Coelho, Marcelo (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
    At the boundary between people, objects and spaces, we encounter a broad range of surfaces. Their properties perform functional roles such as permeability, comfort or illumination, while conveying information such as an ...
  • Mechanical constraints as common ground between people and computers 
    Patten, James McMichael, 1977- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
    This thesis presents a new type of human-computer interface based on mechanical constraints that combines some of the tactile feedback and affordances of mechanical systems with the abstract computational power of modern ...
  • Media streams--representing video for retrieval and repurposing 
    Davis, Marc Eliot (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)
  • Media tables : an extensible method for developing multi-user media interaction platforms for shared spaces 
    Mazalek, Alexandra, 1976- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
    As digital entertainment applications evolve, there is a need for new kinds of platforms that can support sociable media interactions for everyday consumers. This thesis demonstrates an extensible method and sensing framework ...
