Week 6 (2/26/2013) Spring 2013
RCOS has got space in AE (Amos Eaton ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amos_Eaton_Hall (amos eaton 2nd floor (AE 205, 206 and 207 - a suite of three interconnected rooms!). The mentors have started holding office hours on Fridays from 4 to 5:00 pm. Please come and utilize the space (and write great code and share them). Please see the floor plan here http://zim2411.info/floorplans/AmosEaton200.pdf Hopefully my requests to RCOS students to submit abstracts for ugrs symposium have been listened to!
We had three speakers talk about their projects.
2) Chris Celi - Top Soil http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/topsoil/
3) Colin Rice - Bittoll http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/bittoll/
Beth, Sebastian, Mitchell and Robert talked about their Gesture Library for Kinect. They use Unity game engine with Kinect.They have quite a few sensors for the entire body. Currently they use Bayesian method to predict/learn their gestures. In future they are planning to use other methods for better prediction. Also by selectively taking the sensors, they hope to improve their prediction of gestures. They had a mini demo in which they were able to predict the gesture of human signs for letters H, A and C. It is also nice to see tat the groups has been working together and divided the work among the various members.
Chris talked about Topsoil (a git like for projects and ideas). Chris is planning to use ruby on rails for his project. e is also going to use heroku as a web server. People can suggest ideas and others can contribute and make suggestions to the project. This project will be extremely useful for new students who want to join RCOS and want to bounce back ideas. There were a number of questions and suggestions.
Colin talked about his project Bittoll. Colin's idea is to create a library and website allowing computers to generate bitcoins, send them to other computers, and verify their receipt.
Colin has a trail server and showed a demo of how it works. His idea is to charge for use in a minimal manner(thereby reducing spams). His goal is to have multiple of his servers generating the bitcoins. His ideas seem very intresting and invited useful discussions.
Once again a week well spent in the company of clever, helpful and innovative students.
