Inside/out : mirrors for reflective, creative thinking
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
In this document I present three tools for reflective, creative thinking: Pillow-Talk, the NeverEnding Drawing Machine and Calliope. These tools make use of the "distorted mirror" metaphor for self-reflection. They are ...
Learning with data : a toolkit to democratize the computational exploration of data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
This thesis explores the space of programming with data, focusing on the data-ecosystem opened up by the Internet and Cloud technologies. The central argument of this thesis is that the act of democratizing programmatic ...
An updatable three-dimensional display via direct optical fringe writing of computer - generated holographic stereograms in photorefractive polymer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
This thesis aims to assess the feasibility of an updatable three-dimensional display based on the direct fringe writing of computer-generated holographic gratings into a novel photorefractive polymer. The photorefractive ...
FEEL : a system for acquisition, processing and visualization of biophysiological signals and contextual information
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
If we are to learn the effects of the environment and our day-to-day actions, and choices on our physiology, we must develop systems that will label biophysiological senor data with contextual information. In this thesis ...
Glyph : lightweight and evocative looping images in the news
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
There is an emotional dimension to the informative function of the news. When we read the news we participate in a collective emotional experience- whether that is grief, celebration, worry, or wonder. News video is a ...
Hierarchical volumetric object representations for digital fabrication workflows
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
Modern systems for computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) have a history dating back to drafting boards, early computers, and machine shops with specialized technicians for each stage in a manufacturing workflow. ...
OCA : a device interconnection platform for context-aware transformable environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
It is inevitable that personal architectural environments in the future will contain dozens, if not hundreds, of connected devices that will require human control. Currently, most interactions involve standalone devices, ...
Variable reality : interacting with the virtual book
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
This thesis presents Variable Reality, a wearable augmented reality-based system focused on creating a unique on-the-go reading experience that combines the readily accessible nature of digital books with the favorable ...
Mapjack : a mobile based Wiki for collaborative map making
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
The internet has enabled people with few or no formal qualifications to create, share and disseminate cartographic information. One of the best platforms that has empowered citizens to create cartographic data is OpenStreetMap. ...
Shape synthesis : physical object augmentation and actuation for display and interaction on shape changing interfaces
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Pin based shape displays can not only give physical form to digital information, but they have the inherent ability to accurately move and manipulate objects that are placed on top of them. This document presents ways and ...
