If you are ever in Brussels, this building is a must see. “Touch is a project by the Belgian digital design and art lab, LAb[au], Laboratory for Architecture and Urbanism. The project takes as a starting point Brussels’ 145 m high Dexia Tower, from which 4200 windows can be individually colour-enlightened, by RGB-led bars, turning the façade into an immense display. Instead of considering this infrastructure as a flat screen
The Triforium is interesting looking, but the old control room for it is amazing! This old tech is fascinating, I can’t imagine writing code using paper tape. 🙂 Eecue.com had the opportunity to have a tour of the old control room (it has since been replaced by a modern control system). “The Triforium is the name of a six story 60 ton public sculpture in the Los Angeles Mall Civic
Take your WowWee robots to the next level with Robodance. “The next version of Robosapien Dance Machine, the free open source program also known as Robodance, has support for the Nintendo Wii Remote. You can watch a funny sneak preview video of this new release in action now. ( Warning: this video contains graphic footage of a robot tickling Elmo! ) Robodance already lets you control your WowWee robot
If range is what your Bluetooth exploration needs have a look at the BlueSniper Rifle. “With the BlueSniper rifle, you can discover Bluetooth devices and perhaps perform exploits such as copying an address book. But the physical construction of the rifle is only half of the battle. In this installment, I’ll cover the software side of construction by providing a step-by-step for building a custom Linux kernel for the rifle.
Do you have a bluetooth enabled phone? If you do you may want to watch these videos. Other resources: Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 Link 4 Link 5 “What is Bluejacking? You’ve read about it on the web; heard about it on the radio; read articles in the newspapers… but what exactly is bluejacking? *Warning- by the end of ‘What is bluejacking?’ I can assure you that you’ll
Nuxie1 did a great job on this PIC based USB project board. I am very impressed by the Eagle 3D plugin that was used to create the image above. “This design uses the Microchip PIC 18F2450 or 18F2550 USB enabled microcontroller. The total parts cost is around $15 including the microcontroller for a single board. The board features a USB port that can be used with a bootloader for easy
If you are ever thinking about making your own voice recognition system, this project would make a great starting point. ” Firstly, we looked at the speech recognition algorithm to understand the implementation. We then prepared the microphone circuit, and then proceeded to start sampling and generate the digital data for the speech. Once we have the data, we started writing the code based on Tor’s speech recognition algorithm. We
