Interactive Computing Experts Design New Devices For Everyday Use

“Computer scientists have found new ways to use technology to make people’s lives easier. Setting up cameras in the kitchen to record each step made in cooking helps cooks pick up where they left off if distracted. An electronic picture can use symbols to convey a wealth of information — the more stripes on the barber pole, the more traffic on the way home. A camera worn around a person’s neck can interpret gestures, transmit them to electronic devices, replacing remote controls.”

Buckminster Fuller: Starting with the Universe
on view at the Withney June 26, 2008-September 21, 2008

“R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) was one of the great American visionaries of the 20th century. Best-known as the inventor of the geodesic dome, Fuller devoted much of his life to resolving the gap between the sciences and the humanities, which he believed was preventing society from taking a comprehensive view of the world. His theories and innovations traversed the worlds of architecture, visual art, literature, mathematics, molecular biology, and environmental science and have had a deep impact on all of those fields.”
