Carnegie Mellon students get naughty, nice with new-media art (Cnet - Crave )
A frame from the video for "The Human Theremin," a Kinect-based project by students Duncan Boehle and Nicholas Inzucchi. (Credit: Screenshot by Edward Moyer/CNET) It's end-of-term time, which means brainy college students throughout the land are busily quaffing coffee and eschewing sleep to get their final projects and shows sewn up. That means too, of course, that many of these compelling projects are being put on display for the first time. We just got an e-mail from Golan Levin, a professor of new-media arts at Carnegie Mellon University, about student work in his advanced Spring class: "Special Topics in Interactive Art and Computational Design." Levin has put together a Web page of videos, and the projects display an admirable diversity of interests and approaches (and in some cases a mischievous sense of humor). They range from Kinect-powered 3D soundscapes to virtual houseflies to sexy long-distance physical-stimulation devices (digital foreplay, anyone?). #### Digital foreplay, virtual houseflies among Carnegie Mellon work (videos) 1-2 of 6 Scroll Left Scroll Right[Read more] **Related Links:** 'Point cloud portraits' bring ghostly 3D images to movies Smart shoes step up the wearable-computing pace Tablet-like touch interface comes to everyday objects Finally, a chance to tweet to aliens School buys ...
