Pixelate – Guitar-Hero-style eating game which detects food you are eating

Pixelate_001

Created by Sures Kumar and Lana Z Porter, Pixelate is a Guitar-Hero-style eating game in which players compete in a one-minute showdown to see who can eat the most food in the correct order. A digital interface created using openFrameworks and Arduino Uno is built into a custom dining table shows players which foods to eat and when. Different foods have different resistances so the team conducted a series of experiments to determine how to sense the food, and which foods are electrically distinct enough to work in the game. The game detects whether they’ve eaten the correct food by measuring the food’s resistance on the specially designed fork.

Making Data Matter – Voxel printing for digital fabrication of data

Developed by the team at the MIT Media Lab’s Mediated Matter research group, the following research demonstrates multimaterial voxel-printing method that enables physical visualisation of volumetric data.

Muscle Plotter – Assistive interface for hand-drawn computation

Created by Pedro Lopes, Doğa Yüksel, François Guimbretière, and Patrick Baudisch at the Hasso Plattner Institut, Muscle-Plotter is an assistive interface that allows hand-drawn computation using EMS muscles actuation.

EM Table – Exploring possible new interactions

Created by Florian Dussopt, EM table is an experimental object that is able to produce a localised electromagnetic field when switched on.

Scribble – Haptic interface for autonomous cars to ‘draw’ through traffic

Created by Felix Ros, ‘Scribble’ is a haptic interface designed for autonomous cars that lets the driver draw their way through traffic. They draw a path and the car will follow, not letting them drive but pilot the car, helping the car when in need. Scribble is powered by an Arduino DUE that is controlled over a serial connection by a GUI made in openFrameworks.

Beyond Blood – Emotional attachment and inheritance by algorithm

‘Beyond Blood’ is a project that imagines a legal system where algorithms take over the inheritance process where the deceased has not left a will and the state has to distribute the estates.
