This project examines the creation of modular computational elements which can be used to build smart rooms, linked meeting rooms, and other sensor- and display-equipped intelligent spaces. These units are intended to tile the walls of a room, and act as a scalable, self-organizing system. Each tile incorporates networked communications, sensing, intelligence, and actuation/display. Cells coordinate their operations in order to provide complex sensing and display applications. Most recently this platform has been the basis for a gesture-based distributed telecollaboration and simulation system. This is a joint project between the Media Laboratory and the Information and Communications University (ICU) in Korea.
