Surface computing on human skin and walls? Microsoft LightSpace brings augmented reality to a new dimension Blog Post
Microsoft is moving beyond one surface onto multiple surfaces now. With their LightSpace research project, they are tracking virtual objects as they move off a surface and onto users’ hands…
…timeline tool is basically a logger that records the number of the learner’s design actions at a given frequency (say, 2-4 times a minute) during a design session. These design…
Design replay: Reconstruction of students' engineering design processes from Energy3D logs Blog Post
…design process from fine-grained process data design replay. Design replay is not a screencast technology. The main difference is that it records a sequence of CAD models, not in any…
…for two design phases. In the first phase, students design and build their own model houses. In the second phase, they design and add energy-efficiency measures to their houses. The…
…less human beings, to have evolved. In contrast, can you think of any way to disprove the theory of Intelligent Design? I used to think I could. Why not, I…
…design (SEED) supported by rich design tool with construction and analysis capabilities, Energy3D. As students design in Energy3D, a log of all of their design actions are collected. In this…
…alternatives in a design project. An idea that sounds ridiculous initially may lead to the most creative design at the end. Students may learn more from failed designs than from…
…design elements with children and adults to determine which worked best to inspire learning and teach design. These included a custom software design tool, simple hardware modules, cardboard electronics, sample…
