Making Math

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Nonscriptum LLC

Home: California, United States

We have written the books Make:Geometry, Make:Calculus and the upcoming Make:Trigonometry for Make's publishing arm. We will display many 3D printed, paper, and LEGO models that help teach and visualize hands-on math concepts and encourage participants to play with them and think about the concepts. For example, we teach the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus with a handful of 2×2 LEGO bricks and a baseplate. This will be a 'meet the authors' booth, with a chance for people to see the demos in our books live and interact with us.

Wyldcard

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Jonah Stiennon

Home: California, United States

E-ink trading cards which can change! Wyldcards are small plastic cards with e-ink screens (like a Kindle). When placed onto a plinth, the image on the card can be changed by a hidden computer. The cards also contain a memory chip, so they can store stats, moves, and keep changes and status effects from one game to the next. Plug your plinth into your friend’s and play against them. I think these cards have the potential to unlock a new paradigm of tabletop gaming. They are rooted in the physical world, but can implement complex game mechanics Based on an idea I had in 2014 and built in my spare time over the past three years, Wyldcard was upvoted to #1 on Hacker News and I'm wrapping up a crowdfunding campaign for a devkit.

Ternary Computer System

Faire: Rome

Maker: Claudio La Rosa

 

We design a new type of microprocessor, which works with ternary logic (instead of the usual binary). The immediate benefits of the ternary are: Compact information much better (than binary system); It reduces the size of the chips (especially the memory, which today occupies most of the surface). Our idea offers technological advantages that enable a great leap forward in traditional processing and supercomputing. It is optimally applied to the emerging fields of artificial intelligence and the brain-machine connection. Some neurobiological research groups are implementing neural networks with modeling of neurons using three states, because this better matches the activity of neurons. We design, write specifications (ISA) and implement ternary microprocessors.

Costume Di Scena Automatico per Danzatori e Artisti

Faire: Rome

Maker: Giorgio Liberini

 

A costume with integrated LEDs that light up and change color based on its position: this is the core of a project designed specifically to provide performers with an innovative tool. The costume detects the position, and every movement gently modifies the shades, colors, and light intensity. This dynamic response is governed by specific programmable rules. The scenic effect is extraordinary, both during rapid movements and slow movements, eliciting wonder from the audience about the connection between movement and the device's response

Global Distributed Tracking (GDT)

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Global Open Source Quality Assurance System (GOSQAS)

Home: California, United States

GDT is a free software implemented as a website (https://gosqas.org/) that any Maker can use to get a unique QR Sticker (and URL) for their product. By just pointing a phone at the sticker, people enjoying your project can upload an image or some words to tell you how much they love your project. This creates a fully encrypted, indelibly timestamped “provenance.” Only people who handle your project can see this provenance—not even us, and not even you, if you lose the URL! Although designed for global tracking of medical devices, we think Makers will love collecting anonymous feedback that stays with the project—even if it is gifted, sold, or shared in some other way. Our plan is to print sheets of stickers and give them away for free to Makers to make it super-easy!

Bodynodes

Faire: Rome

Maker: Manuel Bottini

 

Bodynodes is a motion capture project made by a hobbyist for other hobbyists. Sensors can be worn and track the movement of the body. Then, the information can be used for different types of applications. The most typical application is to control a character in a virtual reality game. Bodynodes makes the game more immersive than other systems because the sensors are worn and the player interacts directly with the new world. With the use of a VR headset or a VR cardboard, the player gets a fully immersive experience in the game. The tracking information can also be used to create animations for videos or new games. Instead of going through days of animations, the animator can just track their own body and then work on the data collected using the Bodynodes sensors. In the future, we will explore controlling drones and robots, transitioning from the virtual world to controlling the real world!
