Re-designing acoustic musical instrument according to the abilities and characteristics of rapid prototype materials After laser printing on bread , one can print instruments! My friend Amit Zoran designed this really neat concept of an acoustic guitar sound box that has been given a unique sound and behavior through a CAD/CAM process. His research goal at the MIT Media Laboratory in the Ambient Intelligence research group , is to find and analyze a space for structural innovation, especially for acoustic instruments. His works enables players to customize their own sound by assembling different sound cells, e.g physical parts of the instruments designed in CAD/CAM, instead of considering the instrument as one big sound box.3D Snapshots with a Canon D30 Digital SLR - Loreo

Utilisez votre Wiimote pour créer un tableau interactif | Gizmodo
Johny Lee, le même qui nous expliquait comment remplacer la Wiimote par ses doigts et manipuler une interface comme dans Minority Report , nous livre ici sa description du « tableau blanc multi-point à bas prix en utilisant » et c’est aussi impressionnant que le titre est ennuyeux. Comme on peut brancher sa Wiimote sur un ordinateur et accepter des entrées en utilisant l’interface de , vous pouvez utiliser les capteurs infrarouges pour qu’ils détectent une lumière infrarouge sur une surface. Avec son application (téléchargeable gratuitement), et un peu de bricolage (créer un stylo infrarouge) vous pouvez créer votre propre tablet/tableau blanc.
