readings for Feb. 1st
Disappearing Computer Initiative
funny I was a bit late on this reading and poof the site disappeared. BUT by the title it did seem really interesting.
EQUATOR project
The idea is great to get little sensors out in the places which are hard to reach. and gather data we have no other way of getting with out building outposts. Remindeds me of the everest climb which was in the IMAX movie where the were able to leave a microcomupter and sensor system at the top.
Some of the other work seems like work done at MediaLab Asia in India
Using Digital but Physical Surrogates to Mediate Awareness, Communication and Privacy in Media Spaces
It is a wonderful insight into the directions people can go to hide technology and give it a faceplate. It reminds me work done at the MIT Media Lab. It also reminds me of a proposal I made to D-Link for a AP design. The idea is you a picture frame as the antenna and the base a the processor area. The picture would be a digital image. and would change based on users desire. hourly, daily communication based. If I want a slide show of my last trip. or want to see who wrote the last email to me...
