Just got a bluetooth enabled drawing robot working. It's based on Sandy Noble's [http://code.google.com/p/polargraph/wiki/Introduction Polargraph] and code+circuits from [http://www.mattvenn.net Matt Venn]. It uses a pair of stepper motors to wind a pen carrying gondola across a sheet of paper.

TruthTable at the Lighthouse
The TruthTable is a large multitouch surface, used for accesssing and aggregating of web searches in an exploratory way. It uses social knowledge from the web to create links and associations between different ideas, and then display media relating to them, all in a playful and accessible manner. It was created as a project with [http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/ Informatics] at Edinburgh University, in particular [http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/jon/ Jon Oberlander] and [http://www.mimetics.com/ Richard Brown]. A refined version (shown left), with [http://www.eca.ac.uk/staff_profiles/view/lisa-mackenzie/ Lisa Mackenzie] and Sam Booth, was displayed as part of the Senses of Place exhibition at [http://www.thelighthouse.co.uk/ The Lighthouse].
A project with Artlink Edinburgh, looking at using technology to improve the quality of life for differently able people. In this case we were working with Andy, who has very limited mobility, and little vision, but a really strong sense of music and rhythm. Working with Alison Stirling and Steve Hollingsworth we created a customised music player adapted to his needs.
