Hey!
My name is Shane and I am currently a masters student @ MIT. I have a vision of how the world will function in 20-30 years and I am extremely passionate about leveraging my background in architecture and finance, with my interest in HCI and VR/AR to make that vision a reality.
Thanks!

Hello, everyone! Namaste.
I am Ashris, a visiting student from India pursuing Architecture at IIT Kharagpur. I am excited to be part of this class. As an architecture student, I like to tell stories with composition and I feel technology can be a strong tool to convey meaningful stories that help us bond together well.
My experience so far has strongly been based on software and programming. I work on procedural design with Processing and Music generation. But through this class, I want to learn of extending programming to tangible objects.

Hi Everyone!
My name is Johae Song. I am a second year MDes Tech Student at Harvard GSD and a B.Arch. graduate of the Cooper Union. I expect to learn how to design a communicative tool that can develop more efficient language to connect bodies, digital information, and environment, especially through our tactile ability.
I look forward to working with you. Let’s create something fun!

Find me here :)))

Hi, I'm Xiyao

Xiyao Wang — Thu, 12 Oct 2017 15:22:59 +0000

Hi,
I am a second year MAUD (Urban Design) student at Harvard GSD. I am trained as an architect in Tsinghua Unviersity. I developed my interest for tangible media when I was pursuing my second bachelor degree on interactive design at Academy of Art & Design of Tsinghua University. I believe in the power of physical things. And I am interested in how new technologies can transform our spatial experience.

I am not a student

Hi, I'm Taka!

Takatoshi Yoshida (goes by Taka) is a researcher, engineer and designer from Japan. His focus is on the design of meaningful interactions between human and materials/machines, giving novel functionalities to daily materials and creating interactive interfaces which augment our limited perceptual capability. He is also interested in the interconnection between perceivable material properties and imperceptible physical/computational design with particular emphasis on digital fabrication, programmable electronics, computer vision and flexible optics.
Prior to joining the Media Lab, Takatoshi worked with the Vision Architecture Group, part of the Ishikawa Watanabe Laboratory at the University of Tokyo, to develop a novel 3D volumetric display based on a high-speed projection onto actuated materials, in which perceptual imagery is as realistic as real objects for human vision, as exhibited at SIGGRAPH and UIST. He also participated in developing mid-air and underwater displays within Tsukuba University’s Digital Nature Group.
At the University of Tokyo, Takatoshi studied experimental particle physics and received his B.S. in Physics, as well as his M.S. in Information Science and Technology. He has also completed the Graduate Program for Social ICT Global Creative Leaders at the University of Tokyo.
If you cannot catch him at the lab, you may find him enjoying tasty red wines, snowboarding during the winter months, or talking about science on TV!

Hi, I am Xueting Wu

Hi, my name is Xueting Wu, I am the first year graduate student in Massart, my major is Design Innovation which is teach students how to effectively define and solve a problem. My background is graphic design and UI design. I am so interested in future technology which can change people daily communication mode. Also we should consider how to put product into market effectively to make people accept it.
