ml-lib is a library of machine learning externals for Max and Pure Data.ml-lib is primarily based on the Gesture Recognition Toolkit by Nick Gillianml-lib is designed to work on a variety of platforms including OS X, Windows, Linux, on Intel and ARM architectures.  Find it all here: github.com/cmuartfab/ml-lib This library is still...

“Touch and Activate” allows sensing with everyday objects.  This paper describes the technique, and this youtube video does a great job of explaining the approach. As a first example of the newly released ml.lib for Max and Puredata (machine learning and gesture recognition), here are some test patches that use ml.svm to...

Images from Self-Occlusion We propose a complete system for designing, simulating, and fabricating surfaces with shading due to self-occlusion that induce desired input images. Our work is based on a simple observation. Consider a cylindrical hole (a pit) in a planar surface. As the depth of the hole increases, the...

Pepakura + LaserCutter + 3D printer = laserOrigami  This system uses an elevated piece of material in the bed of a normal laser cutter. It cuts and heats to folds until it is in the desired form. Then the piece comes out already assembled.

There are numerous ways to make printed circuit boards by applying a printed mask and etching them in a chemical like ferric chloride, but using the router can save a lot of time once you get over the learning curve and find the correct parameters. Additionally, you can mill the...
