Graphics & User Interfaces
Researchers create an algorithm that computes a reflector shape to boost signals for desired indoor areas while weakening them elsewhere. The reflector can be 3D-printed for $35. Limiting signal coverage also helps prevent nearby cyberattacks.
Eitan Grinspun is part of team democratizing robots. Interactive Robogami, an MIT CSAIL project, lets anyone design a robot in minutes, and 3D-print and assemble it in as little as four hours.
“A touring machine: Prototyping 3D mobile augmented reality systems for exploring the urban environment” (1997) presented the first outdoor AR system using GPS position tracking with a see-through head-worn display.
