While NYC recovers from Hurricane Sandy, we've decided to reschedule the November Jam Session for the following weekend: Saturday, November 10. Snacks and drinks are still on us, but we're counting on you for fun hacks and good storm stories. Until then - stay dry and be safe!
Josh and James jamming across the aisle on their flight to Colorado.
Note the graph and sliders with Josh on one side representing software as input and output and the heart-rate monitor and LED bargraph near the camera with James representing hardware.
So much fun putting all these hardware and software components together on the fly!
Spacebrew Prototypes: Flexible routing between anything that can speak over Websockets, a dynamic interface that allows changes and provides real-time, online, or local accessibility - Spacebrew makes it easy to make things talk.
The LAB (& co.) hard at work! Timelapse of the LAB’s Back Bay area during the Spacebrew Jam Session / Hackathon on October 5, 2012 from 3PM-8PM. The Back Bay was one of three areas used to build prototypes to test and develop Spacebrew - an open source dynamic toolkit for creating interactive spaces. Check it out here: spacebrew.cc
Prototypes made in the Back Bay area: • Heart-rate LED light (brightness based on pulse). • Motorized monitor flag that can be raised remotely (for getting a headphone-wearing coworker’s attention). • Motorized laundry line messenger system (clip a note to the line deliver to the other side of the room).

Heart rate monitor and LEDs talking through Spacebrew - the faster your pulse, the brighter the LEDs.
A monitor flag that can be raised remotely through Spacebrew. Helps you get your coworker’s attention no matter how loud their headphones are.
Just finished our presentation at PSFK London.
