Background • Sponsored by CIET • Companies • NTU, TNU of the Arts, NDHU • Members of two projects • NSC: sensor network • MOEA: digital art • Purpose • Exchange • Inspiration
Attractions • MIT Media Lab • MIT CSAIL • UCB Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (Citris) • UCB Center of New Media (CNM) • UCB Garage Cinema Research (GCR) • Google
Media Lab I • Ambient Intelligence • James Teng • Enjoying social science • Counter Intelligence • Jackie Lee • Architecture student turned engineer • Magnetic-based proximity sensor • Also for 3D sculpturing • IR for intention • Line of eye sight
Media Lab II • Lifelong Kindergarten • Michel Resnick • Past credit: Lego Mindstorm • Mic/speaker-embedded electronic birthday cake • The education program • 10-13 year old kids • Sensors and processors with plug-and-play interfaces • Graphical programming interfaces • Drivers as building Lego blocks • Programs as results of composing the driver blocks • The interface restricts how some pieces are only connectable to certain other pieces in certain way
CSAIL • Victor Zhu • CSAIL research • Architecture, system, networking • Theory • Language, learning, vision, graphics • Physical, biological, social systems • CSAIL surrounding
CSAIL Research • Very brief • Graphics • Light filtering, and 2D photo for 3D presentation • Key is at outlining objects and recognizing fore/background • System and networking • Oxygen, 2nd phase • Newer demo of CricketMote for mobile localization
Taiwan Presence • Oxygen sponsors • Acer, Delta Electronics • ITRI and more for the 2nd phase • Quanta • Just signed • TParty project • 5 years, $20M • “Next generation of platforms for computing and communication beyond personal computers” • Personal Note
Comparison of the 2 Labs • Media Lab • Interdisciplinary • Idealistic, brave • CSAIL • Becoming more interdisciplinary • New centers on medical engineering • Practical, political • Seeking actively for applications
UCB • Doug Tygar • security • Citris • CNM • GCR
Citris • California-scope project • Many UC campus involved • Foster Cal-based science and technologies for • Energy efficiency • Transportation • Environmental monitoring • Seismic safety • Education • Cultural research • Health care
CNM • Very much MediaL style interdisciplinary research • Initiated by the Dept of Architecture faculty members • Though not different operation model • … • Californian population • To accommodate more students • 4 centers established (instead of departments) • The other threes are nano-technology, bio-info, and something not quite recall
GCR • Marc Davis • Theme • Content producing today and in the future • Multimedia annotation • Automated movie editing • Photo sharing • Photo-taking cell phones • Based on location and social circle, recommend people to share the photos with (Mobile Media Metadata 2)
Google • Casual visit • Can’t take photo, • Can’t talk about current work (>”<) • One thing technical • The 2nd-price auction system
Surprise • The first church of Christ, Scientist in Boston
