Santa Fe Complex Awarded NSF Grant
The Santa Fe Complex is part of the New Mexico "brain trust,” along with the University of New Mexico and the Institute of American Indian Arts, awarded $597,220 in funding from the National Science Foundation's Partnership for Innovation program. The grant will fund the development of the hardware and software that make it possible to use "fulldome immersive environments"--such as the LodeStar planetarium at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science--to help people visualize, simulate, or experientially comprehend a wide range of information.
Canal Traffic Simulation – City of Venice
Situation [caption id="" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Photo Credit: Kyle H. Miller"][/caption] The City of Venice needed to revamp operations on its canal system to reduce traffic noise and minimize the serious architectural damage to the city’s structures caused by wakes in the canal system. As part of the CIVITAS Initiative, a project sponsored by the European Union, the investigators wanted to identify solutions that would lead to more sustainable, clean, and energy-efficient urban transport.

Mick Thompson and Tyler White win Alcatel-Lucent iPad App competition
Mick Thompson and Tyler White took first place and $10,000 in an Alcatel-Lucent contest to develop an iPad app using the Alcatel-Lucent location based service API. The app they made puts your friends (using smart and non-smart phones) on a map using new location-getting techniques and shows the closest Flickr image to their location. Mick (Collecta) and Tyler (Legend Apps) submitted the app named “Peer Peer” – named for it’s verb-noun meaning. For more information about the competition, visit the Alcatel-Lucent website.
Calling Technologists & Artists
On June 17-19, the Santa Fe Complex launched the first stage of a permanent installation demonstrating the power of ambient computing. Now that the launch is past, the Complex is inviting technologists and artists to come work with the Complex team to invent next-generation computer interfaces. The first state of this ambient computing demonstration featured works demonstrating new concepts in digital projection mapping and human/computer interaction.
The Complex was completely mapped in digital projection, and the projections were monitored by interactive sensors for human interaction and play through the use of Android mobile phones, iPhones/iPads, Wii controllers, and laser pointers. more…
