Newswise — ITHACA, N.Y. – Peek into the future: Cornell University students will show off their digital technology research projects focusing on forward-thinking, cutting-edge innovations at the annual Bits On Our Minds, or BOOM 2011 showcase, at the Duffield Hall Atrium on campus, March 9, from 4 to 6 p.m. The public is invited to attend.
BOOM 2011 features dozens of projects from student researchers in engineering, computer science and materials science, veterinary science, art, biology, music, humanities – everything from game software, to robotics, to building autonomous airplanes – stretching across many disciplines on campus.
Some of the projects include:
Angry Bunny, an Android action-adventure game that originated from the advanced game design class at Cornell. Fueled by rage and electricity, the Angry Bunny saves the battery planet of Voltaea from an evil raccoon menace.
Rigid Body Car Driving Simulation - This project aims to physically model the experience of driving a car and it was developed for the computer graphics practicum course at Cornell.
SudoGlove Gesture-Based Controller - Humans and machines don’t interface well. Keyboards, mice, joysticks, game controllers still possess human barriers. With the SudoGlove control system, the Cornell students strive to tear down the walls between hardware devices and natural gestures.
