Hardware

Front Projection SMART Board 360 (FP-SMARTBoard-360.pdf)
Rear Projection SMART Board 720 (RP-SMARTBoard-720.pdf)

Manufactured by SMART Technologies Inc., these touch-sensitive screens are used in both the action and reflection spaces of the EDC. In a horizontal configuration, it helps support face-to-face collaboration in a game-board-like environment

Crickets

In our effort to blur the distinction between the physical and the virtual, we are exploring the use of crickets, embedded computing technology developed at the MIT Media Lab

BossaNova

These handheld devices were developed at PFU. By integrating these into the EDC, we hope to support distributed, asynchronous interaction with the environment.

Software

Agentsheets

This is a simulation tool developed at L3D that is used to create computational artifacts in the action space.

Dynasites

This is a tool developed at L3D for creating the dynamic Web sites. This is the foundation of the extensible reflection space.

HyperGami

A software program developed at L3D that lets participants create three dimensional objects that can then be used in the action space.
