| In a London Bunker, Robo-art Comes to Life |
| In a concrete chamber beneath central London, a host of obscure-looking machines whirred to life, electronic eyes were trembling and winking, and a set of colored circles were pulsing to the beat of a human heart. The subterranean display was part of the British capital's Kinetica Art Fair, a show devoted to cutting-edge art which speaks, plays or otherwise interacts with its audience ...continue |

Pen-based computing in the laboratory
Bill Weaver, Ph.D
This past summer of 2008, we searched for a PDA replacement for use by our new batch of sophomores. The university had no plans to distribute and support iPhones (much to the dismay of the students). However, after some sleuthing, we discovered the logical successor to the PDA — a digital “smartpen” ...continue |
