Using technology invented at MIT, Cartesian’s system for locating objects could also find uses in manufacturing, logistics, and robotics.
The portable “ChromoLCD” device combines LCD and LED lighting to customize high-quality designs onto things like shirts and whiteboards.
A greener way to 3D print stronger stuff
MIT CSAIL researchers developed SustainaPrint, a system that reinforces only the weakest zones of eco-friendly 3D prints, achieving strong results with less plastic.
The FabObscura system helps users design and print barrier-grid animations without electronics, and can help produce dynamic household, workplace, and artistic objects.
A human-centered approach to data visualization
Balancing automation and agency, Associate Professor Arvind Satyanarayan develops interactive data visualizations that amplify human creativity and cognition.
You can adjust the frequency range of this durable, inexpensive antenna by squeezing or stretching its structure.
Merging design and computer science in creative ways
MAD Fellow Alexander Htet Kyaw connects humans, machines, and the physical world using AI and augmented reality.
3D modeling you can feel
TactStyle, a system developed by CSAIL researchers, uses image prompts to replicate both the visual appearance and tactile properties of 3D models.
Could LLMs help design our next medicines and materials?
A new method lets users ask, in plain language, for a new molecule with certain properties, and receive a detailed description of how to synthesize it.
“Xstrings” method enables users to produce cable-driven objects, automatically assembling bionic robots, sculptures, and dynamic fashion designs.
