The morning of AI Kiran, Lesley Ray was still fixing her BrainHome prototype.

Started as someone doing ActionScript in Macromedia Flash I got into Human-Computer-Interaction after watching Jeff’s Hann’s multi-touch work.

Ideas for better engineering.

Project Amphibia.

Now evolution is a slow process, and as humans and smartphone users this evolution to ’not drop things’ is going to only happen in a million years.

It was almost the same time 3 years ago when I headed to Boston to pursue research at Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab.

My house in Delhi has a guard that walks around and whistles all night to keep the thieves away.

pokayoke!

the missing airplane shows that whatever futuristic things we might develop, its important to be in the present(+3 seconds to avoid maybe a dangerous cat to attack you). we propose technologies that ‘would touch lives’ 50 years ahead, and forget to live i…

According to the accredited mechanical flying rules the bumble-bee can’t fly, because of its shape and its weight compared with its wing surface.

Magic is inspiring.

That’s the version 0.1 of the ink-harvester box design.

This is not an attempt to win over the pollution.

‘Our goal here is to complement rather than replace.’

Multiple ideas I was thinking about that could be used to improve people’s lives- make new experiences happen, and tap into the unknown – Sound Glasses.

I had forgotten what darkness looks like, what is it to walk under the quiet of the moon by the roar of the waterfalls.

The silence of the night and emptiness within reminds me to complete 14 to-do past blogposts that I wrote in my diary ;) Looks like am gonna find some OCR goodness.

Three images varying in direction and intensity of light Soft natural light from one direction Shifted angle, stronger directional light High-intensity light creating dramatic contrast Simple submission of three Three exposures combined for the HDR compos…

A beautiful idea!

I usually cover my long distance travels by air- for it saves time, and is less tiring (and was affordable in the past).

This is the first time I am writing a personal experience that’s not design/tech/tinker related on my blog.

Latest updates on development of Le-Chal shoe can be accessed here.

Here is an auto-rickshaw repair process I regularly notice during my visit to Kanakpura, Bangalore.

The bumpy ride on the Bangalore streets triggered a thought the other day, why not log the data and analyse it later(whackily purposeless initially).

So the scratch bootcamp turned out to be fun during my 14 day break from regular research.

New year!

I am quite interested in exploring the Multitouch scenario on Mozilla Firefox for my project under Felipe’s and Gerv’s mentorship.

Just taking a moment out to dedicate some space from one of the last few days that remain at college.

Looks like there’s a problem with OpenCV’s distributed parameterization of coordinates used during the camera calibration tasks.

Its week two weeks since I finally bought myself a Acer Aspire 5738 pzg multitouch (actually dual-touch) notebook.

I am waiting to see what happens to the indigenous Notion Ink Adam and Apple iPad.

After a lot of misery I thought no device is worth respect more than a device.

Around a week back while playing around with a friend, i took some photographs from my iPhone that were one of the most inseparable ones to me.

Long time for this post too!

Duh!

We’ve planned a FOSS event in college from 28-31st October.

I happened to stumble across a gesture pad devised by Shekhar Borgaonkar.

Finally I got my GSoC certificate of completion.

With the help of Soy Productions i could get a small demo video.

The “pencils down” date for GSoC is approaching fast.

Just figured out that drawing using gestures in a limited ability environment like SketchUp, is only possible in theory.

That’s how our first gestures tests came out as using TUIO simulator.

Well here the survey results we conducted on the NUIGroup community :) You will require to zoom in several times, as its a clumsy fit.

Quite a long time since we didn’t show our work done in pre-summer-holidays time at IIT delhi’s Design lab.

make a toolbar and User Interface for the plugin Figure out how the overlay circular menu will work on SketchUp-> This could pop open after someone makes a NUI swish(~) gesture.

My thoughts were triggered after I read the Bill Buxton argument.

Oh, the EventRelay was so wonderful we just knew :-) On 24th and 25th July I was busy with my Google Summer of Code doing: The Wiki Page with information about the project readily accessible Some Code Cleanup Adding protected bins on the the repository, so

Just happened to see this video off Richard Monsol Haefel’s blog.

We’ve now been able to trick SketchUp now to pose TUIO data is SketchUp data by posting the TUIO data as a SketchUp “User” message type.
