Just back from a Los Angeles journey to call on various innovators in my role as Collaborative Strategy Leader for Digi International. First, I paid a visit to statistics professor and data expert Mark Hansen at UCLA’s Center for Embedded Networked Sensing. Mark is currently investigating what he calls “participatory sensing, projects… read moreJanuary 19 2012
Matt Richardson of Make is using our XBee Internet Gateway to track and display all his online scores (Google results, YouTube followers and the like) on a big LED display he calls the Ego Ticker: Matt’s the host of Make: Live. He’s also one of the Master’s students at ITP and a notable technophile.… read moreSensitive Buildings: Final Projects
December 27 2011
The students in our NYU ITP Sensitive Buildings class presented terrific final projects last Tuesday. They spent their Fall making the most of a unique opportunity to invent prototypes for large-scale sensor/device networks, then tested out their creations in a landmark 28-story apartment building on New York’s Columbus Circle. The property owners had… read moreDecember 18 2011

On the evening of December 1st, I got to teach an XBee Wireless Networking workshop for the staff at my favorite interactive science museum, the Exploratorium in San Francisco. We went over the basics of wireless networking, made a chat session, then built out interactive doorbell projects. Finally, the staff got… read moreJapanese Translation: “Building Wireless Sensor Networks”
November 28 2011
“Building Wireless Sensor Networks” has just been translated into Japanese, thanks to the tireless and inspired efforts of my friend and colleague Shigeru Kobayashi for the Make Projects series. Translation was done by Bun Mizuhara with design by Yosuke Nakanishi. The Japanese title roughly translates to read, “Wireless Sensor Networks Made with XBee,” which describes the content very nicely. Shigeru… read moreMIT Media Lab: Wireless Networking Workshop
