August 19, 2016. MagnID – Sneaky New Way of Interacting With Tablets. January 13, 2015. New magnetic tech dubbed “MagnID” is being presented this weekend at Stanford’s annual TEI conference. It is a clever hack aimed to hijack a tablet’s compass sensor and force it to recognize multiple objects. Here is a sneak peek at the possibilities of magnetic input for tablets. The demo video below shows off what is under the hood and some new input mechanics for simple games, sketching, and a logo turtle. 17 thoug...

August 22, 2016. Arduino Tetris on a Multiplexed LED Matrix. January 21, 2015. Alex] needed a project for his microcomputer circuits class. He wanted something that would challenge him on both the electronics side of things, as well as the programming side. He ended up designing an 8 by 16 grid of LED’s that was turned into a game of Tetris. Prevents you from noticing. To the human eye, it looks like multiple LED’s are lit up simultaneously. Can’t get enough Tetris hacks? Posted in Arduino Hacks. Agreed,...

August 22, 2016. Open Hardware for Open Science – Interview with Charles Fracchia. April 8, 2015. Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Are just a few to name. And the whole movement is just getting started. While some of these challenges are universal, when it comes to Biology and Biomedical Engineering, the road to Open Science is paved with problems that will go beyond crafting proper incentives for researchers and academic institutions. It will require building hardware. It is projects like this, especially if c...

August 22, 2016. Playing Pong with your mind. May 1, 2012. It seems [Charles Moyes] and [Mengxiang Jiang] won’t suffer from the sore wrists and thumbs from an Atari controller any longer. They built a version of Pong played by concentrating and relaxing. While wearing an EEG headset. Right now, there’s only enough hardware for one player; when the player operating the red paddle concentrates the paddle moves up – relax, it goes down. But highly refined as the elegance of an ATMega644 requires. Based on t...

August 22, 2016. Books You Should Read: Basic Electronics. I learned some basic electronics in high school physics class: resistors, capacitors, Kirchoff’s law and such, and added only what was required for projects as I did them. Then around 15 years ago I decided to read some books to flesh out what I knew and add to my body of knowledge. It turned out to be hard to find good ones. Full Color 3D Printer Upgrade Leaves Competition In The Dust. Intel Releases The Tiny Joule Compute Module. However, it ca...

https://gigaom.com/2012/07/11/new-york-starts-turning-payphones-into-free-wi-fi-hotspots
The industry leader in emerging technology research. New York starts turning payphones into free Wi-fi hotspots. Jul 11, 2012 - 10:29 AM PDT. Payphones, those relics of the pre-cellphone era, may just get a new lease on life in New York. The city is testing a pilot program. In which it installs free Wi-Fi on select payphone kiosks. The hotspots are initially coming to ten payphones in three of the boroughs and will be open to the public to access for free. You can see a list of sites here. New York is al...
