And we have the idea for the game. It is a horse race game. The pic counts how many times a button has been pressed. And Xport write that value to a txt file. Then maybe processing will read the value and put it into the game.

the concepts are really interesting. and the design is multifunctional.
But i would not prefer a wearable device. from my personal view, i would not like listening to random sound while walking.
At ITP, I have seen so many interactive videos that takes in pictures and outputs a processed one. I think the sonic city is one of those kind of random "output".

FLIRT
I cannot open the full website of FLIRT.
So from the brief intro, I do not understand much about this project. How do they specify a place, gps? what kind of info would they offer?

Active Campus
I like this one. It is a mobile Alberta and ITP-listserv with more functions. But I think VPN can be more advanced. I do not know much about VPN, but remote access to school accounte is definately feasible.

MIT and microsoft is developing iCampus, which is really cool and sounds like a campus.

Urban Tapestries
It is like the wikipedia. Actually, in design expo class, our group have come to a very similar idea but more physical.

Quick Start
I am a little confused about the setup process.
Actually, I do not know how, but just read a little on the Lantronix website.
Lantronix is using a software called "Com Port Redirector" to assign IP address and other network configuration.
And it is using a "DeviceInstaller" for Windows OS to drive X-port.

Something about MAC address:
MAC address is changeable. At least, it can be put on a mask which makes another computer. And because of this, two computers can be recognized as the same one in the network.

MAC address is corressponding with network adapter not computer itself. So if a computer has two or more network adapters, it can has two or more MAC address.

equator
Equator is exploring the interation between the physical and digital on a large picture. the equator projects are quite interesting, covering many aspects. Though some of the projects are not very complex, they are exploring the concepts about the relationship betwenn physical and digital.

I also heard about a "ubiquitous computing in europe" program which share almost same function as equator, funded by european govenement.
There is another website, not so conceptual, or academic. but it is very interesting, adopting technology to make life more fun.

the disappearing computer
oh,my!! this site is part of IPTS which is the founder of "ubicomp in europe". this organization is trying to integrate information technology with everyday life. with the emerging of network technology, computing is everywhere. the korean wibro network is a very good infrastructure.

Another essay "the disappearing computer" by bill gates.

calm technology
It is amazing to find that this essay was written in 1996. the calm technology is felt as natural as breathe. so people will not complain about massive information. it is totally humane centered. I think the calm technology can be used in various aspects especially for wearable, wireless lan, home facilities. there are many university and organizations are doing research on the pervasive computing. here are some that i am interested in:
oxygen project - MIT http://www.oxygen.lcs.mit.edu/
project aura - CMU http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~aura/
Easy Living - MS http://research.microsoft.com/easyliving/


surrogates
physical surrogates have always been a heated topic in network applicaions. People use personalized settings, such as names, images to represent themselves. At ITP, there was once a project, using a steel hand to represent the hand of another player. Last semester, there was a pcomp project called "my peep", using toys to represent ichat friends.

There is quite a lot things to explore, and the auther raised 5 issues at the end of this essay. But since digital but physical surrogate is an humen - machine interface, it is more like a exploration on human's activities.
