The Trojan horse as a Trojan horse
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
This thesis proposes a framework to model intervention in education systems using technology: the Learning Atmosphere. The motivation is to show that innovative learning with expressive technologies can happen even in ...
An inertial measurement unit for user interfaces
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Inertial measurement components, which sense either acceleration or angular rate, are being embedded into common user interface devices more frequently as their cost continues to drop dramatically. These devices hold a ...
Learning material for constructing environmental understanding
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Environmental acknowledgement or awareness by itself does not necessarily implicate that people have understood the causes, effects and impact of environmental issues. Understanding and critically thinking about environmental ...
Topobo : a 3-D constructive assembly system with kinetic memory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
We introduce Topobo, a 3-D constructive assembly system em- bedded with kinetic memory, the ability to record and playback physical motion. Unique among modeling systems is Topobo's coincident physical input and output ...
S.N.A.K.E. : a dynamically reconfigurable Artificial Sensate Skin
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
The idea of an Artificial Sensate Skin device that mimics the characteristics and functions of its analogous living tissue whether human or animal is not new. Yet, most of the current related work has been focused in the ...
FEMINIZM4ALL : a framework for feminist technology intervention
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
This thesis describes a feminist framework for technological interventions. I first define the problem by contrasting studies from psychology with research from other social sciences to determine that the primary reason ...
Managing sound sensitivity in autism spectrum disorder : new technologies for customized intervention
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Many individuals diagnosed with autism experience auditory sensitivity - a condition that can cause irritation, pain, and, in some cases, profound fear. Efforts have been made to manage sound sensitivities in autism, but ...
The Idea Melting Pot (IMP) : an openly-editable web-based community learning resource for builders
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
This thesis discusses the development, use, and potential future for an openly-editable web-based community learning resource for builders. The idea for a resource such as this and how it might be structured stems from ...
Demonstration and evaluation of co-channel DBPSK source separation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
This thesis presents a Differential Binary Phase Shift Key (DBPSK) source separation system implemented with the GNU Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform and interfaced with the existing MIT community Radio Frequency ...
High-resolution spatial light modulation for holographic video
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
The goal of the proposed research is to further the fabrication of a high-bandwidth two-axis scanning device. The device is intended for use in a holographic video geometry built specifically to take advantage of the new ...
