We are looking to hire an NYU ITP graduate or related company for a special, short-term project.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I have a small but prominent and immediate opportunity, directly<\/div>\n
requested by the President and CTO of a major technology company. This project has very high, long-term visibility to major corporations and Nobel Prize-level technology and science researchers within a permanent installation at company headquarters.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The client request:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cA unique way of opening automatic sliding glass doors.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Our concept:<\/span><\/div>\n
On an all-glass room, the user stands in front of a locked pair of sliding glass doors. By swiping their finger in a unique, up-and-down pattern along the seam of two glass panels adjacent to the doors, the doors will open and the user can enter.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The input hardware to do this should be invisible, and narrow enough to fit within the roughly 1\/4\u201d seam between the two glass panes. The hardware configuration will need to send an on\/off signal to the doors via an existing AMX system via network, contact closure or serial communication.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Our immediate need (before 5\/14):<\/span><\/div>\n
PLEASE PROVIDE\u2026<\/div>\n
