Using a variety of low- and high-tech components, we’ll show you how to build A Touchless 3D Tracking Interface.
Manfred Kielnhofer made these chairs from cardboard tubes that are manufactured with recycled paper. The armrests may be a little wonky for actual sitting puruposes, but it’s a novel idea nonetheless.
Boxie is a semi-autonomous robot that roams through its surroundings until it finds a willing human participant to answer its questions and star in a movie it films. It was designed and built by Alexander Reben at MIT’s Media Lab.
Mike Estee has been laser-cutting hexapod limbs from cardboard and is making great progress on his hexapod project. As he explains:
As Iโve written about in the past, cost can be measured in many ways. For this exercise Iโm primarily interested in cost of materials, cost of manufacturing, and assembly time. Design time isnโt particularly optimized here, but as we build on previous iterations, hopefully we can stay ahead of complexity. On the cold hard cash front, I think Iโm doing pretty well. This little fellow consists of: $1.00 in cardboard, $54.60 in servos, and $29.95 in servo controllers.
