Holography’s legacy is inspiring new directions at MIT CSAIL, where the Human-Computer Interaction Engineering (HCIE) group, led by Professor Stefanie Mueller, is pioneering programmable color — a future in which light and material appearance can be dynamically controlled.

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.

You can adjust the frequency range of this durable, inexpensive antenna by squeezing or stretching its structure.

“MouthIO” is an in-mouth device that users can digitally design and 3D print with integrated sensors and actuators to capture health data and interact with a computer or phone.
