Disruptive-Lab Mpeg Archive


In the dozen or so years that the Vision and Modeling Group (now called the Disruptive Lab) has existed, it has produced a wide variety of interesting research in computer vision, machine learning, and wearable computers. As a consequence it is from time to time necessary to explain this work to others, and therefore to ease the burden upon the explainer we have produced a number of videos.

One called upon to explain the Disruptive Lab to a visitor may rely upon these movies as visual aids, conversation starters, and general filler.

W

Fashion

Keywords:   Wearable Computing, Thad Starner, Sign-Language Translator, Parasitic Power, Conductor's Jacket, Ad-hoc networks

Fashion models display futuristic clothing. An announcer "introduces" clothing with embedded computers, cameras, telecommunications capabilities, thermal regulation, etc. The last movie is a news broadcast reviewing the above fashion show -- Neil Gershenfeld is interviewed about the lab, and Rehmi Post demos the Conductor's Jacket.

Action-Reaction Learning

Keywords:   Head-And-Hands Tracking, Color Blobs, Stive, PFinder

Silent videos showing an old SGI program tracking the head and hands of, possibly, Tony. He makes some different motions, like clapping and waving, and the tracking continues merrily along.

Nuria's Interaction Recognition

Keywords:   Nuria Oliver, Coupled Hidden Markov Models, Eigenbackground subtraction, Recognizing Human Interaction, Person-Tracking

Silent videos show recorded scenes outside Nuria's old office. People are seen walking towards each other, walking together, meeting, etc; while textual descriptions of the activity appear in the corner. This is to indicate that the computer, watching these people, was able to determine what they were doing.

Flavia's World

Keywords:   Flavia Sparacino, Dance Space, Responsive Portraits, Digital Circus, City of News, Interactive Performance, Interactive Music, Interactive Museums, Real-Time Body Tracking, Education, Smart Rooms, Unbuilt Ruins, Information Architecture, 3D Browser, Wearable City, Expressive Text, Typographic Actor

These videos review Flavia's research, art and installations over the years, including Dance-Space (a PFinder-enabled system that turned body motions into music), the City of News (a virtual-reality 3D web browser) Silent videos show recorded scenes outside Nuria's old office. People are seen walking towards each other, walking together, meeting, etc; while textual descriptions of the activity appear in the corner. This is to indicate that the computer, watching these people, was able to determine what they were doing.
