Other Online Devices. Light on the NetMasaki Fujihata set this panel of lights up at the Softopia building in Gifu, Japan. Users can turn the lights on and off. The lights are controlled by clicking directly on any bulb. The Switzerland Coke MachineAt this site you can get the vital statistics of a coke machine in Switzerland. Netscape Engineering SignThis is a bus sign in Netscape's engineering pit. Users dictate what the sign says, but a view of the sign is dependent upon whether the camera is aimed correctly. The Interactive Electric ChairDeathrow Online, the world's first interactive electric chair, allows volunteers to execute delinquents-- for example, I had the opportunity to execute John A.Peterson whose crime was to drop a baby while playing with it.

AliceThis is not a telerobot in the sense of the others but is a very cool natural language interface. Back to Online Robots and Cameras Page Book on Internet Telerobots. Untitled. Electroland - Cameron McNall and Damon Seeley. A TIME AND PLACE - Christian Moeller. Realities:united / PROJECT. The Adaptive House. Current Projects The Adaptive House Boulder, Colorado Since the mid 1940s, the home automation industry has promised to revolutionize our living environments. The so-called "smart home" has been hyped in the popular press.

The vision of the industry is that household devices -- appliances, entertainment centers, temperature and lighting control units -- will behave intelligently. For example, the stereo might automatically switch on music as the occupants return home; the TV might lower its volume when the phone rings; or the clothes dryer might make an announcement over an intercom system when it has completed its cycle. As attractive as this scenario is, the software for an automated home must be tailored to a particular home and family, and updated as the family's lifestyle changes. We have constructed a prototype system in an actual residence (see photo above). Control systems in the residence are based on neural network reinforcement learning and prediction techniques. Aperture. Electronic Walls and Ceilings Offer Adaptable Solid-State Lighti. What if building architecture and lighting could be seamlessly integrated to create illumination that is dynamic, personal and flexible?

What would it look like? Over the past 100 years, traditional lighting has acted as an add-on to spaces. Lighting fixtures are hung from ceilings, sit on floors, and rest on tables. Solid-state lighting, however, offers new ways to think about how we light our spaces. This rapidly evolving technology can be embedded into any type of architecture due to its small size, ruggedness, and long life. Working Toward an Infrastructure Change In 2004, the Alliance for Solid-State Illumination Systems and Technologies (ASSIST) provided seed money to develop and demonstrate a flexible interior infrastructure that will integrate solid-state lighting with other building materials and systems.
