"I thought up the idea that it would be really cool to control a remote control car controlled by the parallel port. I did some research and Mike Beauchamp did just that and to top it off it’s controllable over the internet."

"That’s what the Morse Keyboard is all about. This little project I built plugs into a computer’s USB port and is seen by the computer as a standaard USB keyboard. As you tap out Morse, the device types each letter to your computer just like a standaard keyboard!"

"’Capacities Life In The Emergent City’ captures the changes over time in the environment (city) and represents the changing life and complexity of space as an emergent artwork. Capacities goes beyond simple single user interaction to monitor and survey in real time the whole city and entirely represent the complexities of the real time city as a shifting morphing and complex system."

"When I first saw Crispin Jones Tengu, I was sure, I must have one. If you don’t know tengu and don’t want to follow the link, it’s a small face, made of LEDs, that reacts to music and sound.
It did not take long until I decided to clone this funny little device. All it needs is a microcontroller, an LED matrix and a sound sensor."

"The original idea was to create a new human interface for a commercial fighting game using two given technologies: Orients and Prospeckz. Orients are a set of sensors which output over the radio their coordinates in a 3 dimensional space plus other physical measurements such as acceleration. The sensors are attached to different parts of a human body, the output data is processed in real time, and models a human body and its movements."

"The concept of serial communication adds a whole other dimension to what you can do with the Arduino microcontroller. Communication with other applications is essential for the type of projects I would like to develop…My excitement in learning the technical aspects of serial communication encouraged me to experiment with with two dynamic programming environments that I enjoy working with: Flash and Processing."

"I continue to believe that stylus input — annotations, sketches, mark-up, and gestures — will be an important aspect of interaction with slate computers in the future, particularly when used effectively and convincingly with multi-modal pen+touch input. It also seems that every couple of years I stumble across an interesting new use or set of techniques for motion sensors, and this year proved to be no exception."

"I got a new phone a couple of weeks ago: the Nokia Lumia 928. It has a great camera, so I decided to build a rig for panning and tilting it. The robot features two degrees of freedom that can be manipulated independently, is controlled through Bluetooth via an easy to use remote, and rotates the phone exactly around where the lens is located."

"Use Vaseline as a resist and a bath of salt and vinegar to etch away the copper from copper fabric to make circuits and sensors! Inspired by instructions from Rehmi Post and Kit Waal."

"The challenge here was to integrate different technologies in a working project. In particular I wanted to use the iPhone to send/receive data to/from an Arduino, build a remotely controlled robot using a WiFi network and hook up a data logger station capturing the different sensor data."
