As part of the Department's Architecture Hall Open House, the DMG will present a round-robin demonstrations of current research. A few of these are still not totally baked, but we hope to show you

TinMan - a 3D scanning application using a projector and digital camera
to scan 3D objects. Get your face scanned and turned into a
triangulated irregular network (tin) mesh for personalizing
your 3D models!

ARchitecture - an Augmented Reality (AR) experience of a BIM model of
the new Architecture Hall. A new way of seeing the world
around us and the designs we envision.


LIFE - An exploration of cellular automata through "the game of life"
and alternative rules. Endless hours of fun, and online too!

Gizmo - A wireless 'gizmo' that should be able to control the view of
a SketchUp model in real time. Think how this might link your
physical presentation model to your digital presentation!

GASP - This project explores Genetic Algorithms (GA) for Space Planning
(SP) and how they might be used to generate floor plan layouts.
Watch the design 'evolve' right before your very eyes!
