Pico projectors have lately been investigated as mobile display and interaction devices. Everyday objects sojourning in a beam are turned into dedicated projection surfaces and tangible interaction devices. While this has been explored for large projectors, the affordances of pico projectors are fundamentally different: they have a very small and strictly limited projection ray and can be carried around in a nomadic way during the day. Thus it is unclear how this could be actually leveraged for tangible interaction with physical, real world objects. We have investigated this in an exploratory field study and contribute the results. Based upon these,

Rubin recommends: #1 Do Not “Root” the Cell Phone – Doing so will be one less step for a thief. #2 Enable Lock Screens – “Face Unlock,” “Pattern,” “PIN” and “Password” all increase physical security to the device. “Slide,” however, does not. #3 Disable USB Debugging – When enabled, the data on mobile

Read MoreMIT is working on a smart car that can reduce congestion on the highway and solve the many parking problems our country faces! To accomplish this, the car is designed to fold in half! William Lark Jr., an African-American PhD candidate at MIT, is the chief designer of CityCar, a stackable small car that folds. The cars, which are smaller than Smart Cars, are battery-electric, so they don’t cause tailpipe emissions. They also weigh less than a 1,000 pounds and are intended to “meet the demand for enclosed personal mobility.” It does not have a central engine and traditional power
