inFORM – Interacting With a Dynamic Shape Display

inFORM is a Dynamic Shape Display that can render 3D content physically. Users can physically interact with digital information. inFORM can also interact with the physical world around us, for example moving objects on the table’s surface. In addition remote participants in a video conference can be displayed physically, allowing for a strong sense of presence and the ability to interact physically at a distance. This work is towards our vision of Radical Atoms, where we can manipulate the physical world as easily as pixels on a screen.

Mauna Kea Heavens Timelapse

Timelapse of the observatories atop Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The summit is at an altitude of nearly 14,000 ft and is the premiere site for astronomy in the Northern Hemisphere. As an astronomy graduate student at the University of Hawaii, I’ve enjoyed excellent access to the facility. Some of my favorite still images of Mauna Kea can be found at www.sgphotos.com/photostories/maunakea.

This montage was filmed on three nights in April (I was observing on one of the telescopes and would walk outside when things got boring) and four nights during summer 2013. More information (i.e. “What’s up with the lasers?” “What gear did you use?”) can be viewed at http://sgphotos.com/portfolio/timelapse/makingmaunakeaheavens/.

More of my timelapse work can be found here and at www.sgphotos.com/portfolio/timelapse. Please notify me prior to featuring my work.

Music: “All is Violent, All is Bright” by God is an Astronaut.

Bleeding Edge book trailer

It is 2001 in New York City, in the lull between the collapse of the dot-com boom and the terrible events of September 11th. Silicon Alley is a ghost town, Web 1.0 is having adolescent angst, Google has yet to IPO, Microsoft is still considered the Evil Empire. There may not be quite as much money around as there was at the height of the tech bubble, but there’s no shortage of swindlers looking to grab a piece of what’s left… http://thepenguinpress.com/book/bleeding-edge/
