hello.

From their site:
“NeuroSky, a fabless semiconductor/module company, has developed a non-invasive neural sensor and signal processing technology that converts brainwaves and eye movements into useful electronic signals to communicate with a wide range of electronic devices, consoles, and computers.”
So far they haven’t got any links to an actual product for sale up. If they ever do get it to market, though, it could be fun to play with.
Thanks to Clay Shirky for the link.

Ubisense makes a real time locating system (RTLS) that can locate objects with 15cm accuracy in 3 dimensions. To do this, they attach a tag to each object that has a built-in radio, and a series of radio receivers around the space that they’re tracking in. The receivers receive signals from the tags, and triangulate their location based on radio signal strength.
It’s not the kind of system an individual could afford to buy or setup, and it has its limits. For example, the tags are fairly large. And it’s expensive ($10K last time I checked). But it could be useful for certain research situations, or inventory control of large items.

Lucas Cueni has a blog of various interactive projects, most of which involve multiple physical objects making up a larger image, physical pixel-style.
