WHAT: 481m Home Networking Capstone Project Tour
DATE: Wednesday, June 1, 2011
TIME: 3:30pm – 5:00pm
PLACE: The Atrium
HOSTS: Ratul Mahajan (MSR), David Wetherall, John Zahorjan, and Colin Dixon
The modern home is a hotbed of game consoles, TVs, smartphones, cameras, remotely controllable lights and locks, and many more networked computers. It is, in fact, one of the key computing environments of the future. But how will we write programs that run in the home? And what will they do?
Come and join MC Colin Dixon as he takes us on a tour of the home of the future as imagined and built by students in the 481m capstone. The tour will start at 3:30 and last for 30 mins, followed by unstructured time to interact with the teams and demos. See and be amazed by these projects:
-Who’s at my Door? Live feed and a record of the day from your front porch to your
phone or any screen in your house
-RoomSense, providing a user’s in-home location context for smarter home applications
-Intuihome, intuitive control of devices via gestures with 2D and 3D cameras
-Spooky Action at a Distance, a system for enabling remote connectivity
to the home, despite NATs and firewalls
-Networked Alarm, waking the user with lights and music and adjusting to calendar
events and traffic
-Network Usurper, transparently reconfigures the network to control data
flow and access to devices
We would like to thank Microsoft Research and Google for support, including equipment, that made this course possible.
