  • Jacuzzi Pants


    Jacuzzipants

    Many enjoy the comfort and relaxation that comes with spending time in hot tubs, saunas, and swimming pools - however, in our increasingly nomadic and body-oriented technological world, it becomes inconvenient to have these limited to their installed locations. Is there a way to bring the experience of a jacuzzi with you? Can this fixture become portable, like so many other technologies?

  • Interactive Light Panels


    Interactive Light Panels

    A magic wall hanging - a grid of photoresistors and small circuit boards on the lower panel, and a grid of bulbs on the upper. When a shadow falls over the lower panel, the shape of that shadow is reproduced in light on the upper panel.
