Pressing “snooze” in the morning a little too often? No worries — to the rescue is Gauri Nanda with her “Clocky.” How it works: If you hit “snooze,” the alarm clock jumps off your nightstand and lands on its wheels, beeping the whole time. Then it’s time to play hide-and-seek. The gadget rolls, bumps into things, backs up, and eventually stops. When the clock rings again, the sleepy owner has to walk around and find it to turn it off. Nanda invented the alarm clock for herself while she was studying design at MIT’s Media Lab.
Perceptive Pixel, Inc. was founded by Jeff Han in 2006 as a spinoff of the NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences to develop and … market the most advanced multi-touch system in the world.
Virtual reality allows us to experience other worlds, both real and make-believe. Engineers use complex algorithms to build 3-D virtual spaces that fool our senses and make us feel as if we’re really there.
