Development of systems to track, transmit and display health data. Development of systems for intelligent kitchens and new paradigms in play. Research into collection, storage and retrieval of image data. Other projects include the analysis and encoding of video to form structured representations and developing web based applications for collaboration. Strong programming skills are important.
Projects involve joining a team that is making the network visual.
This includes IP television, putting scaleable images in the net, and augmenting the database of pictures, developing the multicast protocols so that they can be assembled into programs and movies, and cataloguing them. For example, we are archiving the nightly news, ordering it by topic, and building an IP television channel for viewing it. Students should like pictures and movies. Projects range from video recording to network-level programming. Students must be able to work with their hands and their minds.
