    From Sept 2005 until now I have created the graphic design for the exhibition: cities: 10 lines. approaches to cities and open territoty design currated by joan busquets and felipe correa at harvard graduate school of design.

  • 17OctAt UIST this Monday: Scopemate, a robotic microscope!

    I am at UIST this Monday to present one of my project along with my mentor Paul Dietz since I joined Microsoft Applied Sciences Group. It is a very quick but efficient solution for the ones who like to solder small components!

    Summary
    Scopemate is a robotic microscope that tracks the user for inspection microscopy. In this video, we propose a new interaction mechanism for inspection microscopy. The novel input device combines an optically augmented web-cam with a head tracker. A head tracker controls the inspection angle of a webcam fitted with ap-propriate microscope optics. This allows an operator the full use of their hands while intuitively looking at the work area from different perspectives. This work was done by researchers Cati Boulanger and Paul Dietz in the Applied Sciences Group at Microsoft and will be presented atUIST 2011this Monday as both a demo and a poster!

    It says:”

    Le stelle di domani

    25 come gli anni di Marie Claire: ecco i (nostri) talenti visionari che guardano al futuro.”

    Cati Boulanger, la più giovane ricercatrice Microsoft.
    Perché. Noi siamo alle prese col precariato, lei maneggia desktop 3D superfuturistici.

    Not bad, and I am carrying my baby!

  • 18FebDIY 3D motion!

    Anatoly Churikov did an internship with me last summer at the Microsoft Applied Sciences Group. Soon I will be able to talk about his cool project he did there, but right now I want to share his newest project, the duo3d! It is a Do-it-yourself kit to do super precise 3D motion. He and his teammates will launch a kickstarter campaign soon, stay tuned!

  • 26FebDigital Visions for Fashion + Textiles: Made in Code

    My friend Jane Harris and I are helping the European Commission in Brussels. She just told me that she co-wrote with Sarah E. Braddock Clarke an exploration on the creative influence of computer technology on fashion and textiles, featuring forward-thinking practitioners at the vanguard of these developments. I can’t wait to read more of it. Here is a link to her book Digital Visions for Fashion and Textiles: Made in Code.

    Digital Visions

    The invention of the Jacquard loom in eighteenth-century France paved the way for computing and revolutionary change. From its punch-card origins, code has evolved to define and enable new methods in design, making, visualization, production and communication, achieving the previously unimaginable. Digital Visions for Fashion + Textiles: Made in Code considers how computing has reinvented image, material and structural processes, highlighting newly advancing 2D, 3D and interactive output. Pioneering shifts of practice have developed from hybrid technical and creative collaborations. Digital and analogue fusions are defining new contexts for the innovative fabrication of surfaces, products and environments. Twenty-two of the most forward-thinking practitioners, established and emerging, who have embraced developing digital technologies are profiled. Featured are household names, such as Hussein Chalayan, Prada and Issey Miyake, early pioneers (Vibeke Riisberg, Peter Struycken) and more independent, avant-garde individuals (Iris van Herpen, Casey Reas, Tom Gallant). Complete with a reference section and bibliographic information, this unique and richly illustrated book is the perfect resource and inspiration for designers, students, industry professionals, and anyone looking for an exploration of how computer technology has creatively permeated fashion, textiles and related digital sectors.
