    Non-verbal, implicit forms of communication are essential in keeping intimate relationships.

    The project named Scottie researches the possibilities of using information and communication technology to create virtual immediacy between long-stay absentees and their primary social contact group.

    Wat is een Fablab?
    Een Fablab is een ruimte met diverse computergestuurde machines voor het maken van prototypen en modellen, naar een concept ontwikkeld door Neil Gershenfeld bij het MIT (USA).

    Waag Society en Mediagilde bieden in Fablab Amsterdam verschillende workshop formats aan voor technisch onderwijs. Hiernaast wordt het Fablab ook ingezet als werkplaats voor het maken van prototypen binnen het kader van zowel eigen projecten als die van partners.

    DESCRIPTION

  • Bauhaus Bauspiel / pop-up

    Pop UP is een levensgrote kijkdoos waarin kinderen hun eigen voorstelling met intelligente objecten maken. Verschillende zintuigen worden aangesproken, zodat een intuïtieve, spontane interactie ontstaat. De peuter kan actief aan de slag, dingen in beweging zetten maar ook gewoon luisteren en kijken. In alle vrijheid en op eigen tempo kunnen de jonge kinderen de interactieve theaterinstallatie Pop UP verkennen. Hierbij wisselen ze verschillende 'rollen'; ze zijn regisseur, acteur en toeschouwer tegelijkertijd.

  • RepRap 1.0 Darwin

    The RepRap is a do-it-yourself 3D printer, capable of reproducing (most) of it's own parts. The name RepRap is deducted from Replicating Rapid Prototyper, designed by Adrian Bowyer, professor at Bath University, England. Instructions and all necessary data are available completely free of charge to anyone who wants to build a personal 3D printer.

    Next to all the research we try to do in various fields concerning clean energy and the likes, I figured it is also important to do something else... As long as it conrtibutes to the gathered knowledge here.

    This project is not about anything you need, or something that solves worldwide issues. But it will learn you a lot about handeling materials, and machines.

    This course provides a hands-on introduction to the resources for designing and fabricating smart systems, including CAD/CAM/CAE; NC machining, 3-D printing, injection molding, laser cutting; PCB layout and fabrication; sensors and actuators; analog instrumentation; embedded digital processing; wired and wireless communications. This course also puts emphasis on learning how to use the tools as well as understand how they work.

  • david_3d_laser_scanner2.jpg

    An investigation into open source 3d scanning systems.
    The goal is to develop a mobil 3d scanning system to be able to scan limbs in the field, in order to improve the quality of an under knee prosthetic.

    Here is a stomp socket made with thermoplast. This is the most important part of the proshtetic, because halv the bodyweight has to be distributed along the lateral side of the stomp.

    The Snoezel Object stems from an approach to therapy used in Snoezels Kamers.  The idea is that the snoezelen environment is safe and non-threatening. Children and adults with disabilities or other limiting conditions enjoy gentle stimulation of the primary senses. There is no need for intellectual reasoning. Participants experience self-control, autonomous discovery, and exploration-achievements that overcome inhibitions, enhance self-esteem, and reduce tension. This in turn is what we hope to achieve with the Snoezel Object.
