Msc Ubiquitous Computing Lecture

eduardovelloso — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 15:50:24 +0000

Today I was asked by Prof. Hans Gellersen to give a guest lecture as part of his Ubiquitous Computing course for the MSc Computer Science.

The title of the lecture was Practical Tools for Designing Ubiquitous Computing Interfaces and you can find the slides here. We covered Embedded, Tangible, Multitouch and Whole-Body Interactions and I presented three demos about .NET Gadgeteer, reacTIVision and Kinect.

Leaping Out (Part II)

eduardovelloso — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 15:21:06 +0000

After a very interesting week working with very talented people, Leaping Out is finally over, culminating with the evening at the Dukes’ DT3. The night was a success, featuring art installations, dramatic and comic sketches and soundscapes. Following the theme, ‘Ready & Waiting’, I contributed with an airport departure board that displayed tweets that mentioned people waiting for something in the departures side and people ready for something else in the arrivals side.

The event was sold-out and received a very positive review by Michael Nunn, which can be found here.

eduardovelloso — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 11:06:00 +0000

This week I am taking part in a project called Leaping Out, which is being organised by Josh Coates and Leo Burtin, from LEAP – Lancaster Emerging Arts Platform.

Leaping Out

The project started last Saturday at the Gregson Centre in Lancaster, with a very interesting day of activities that gathered artists and makers of different backgrounds.
The idea is to spend this week working on a collaborative project with the theme ‘Ready & Waiting’. The project will be presented to the public in a free event at the Dukes DT3 on Saturday. If you are interested you can book your ticket at the Dukes’ website or by calling them.

SBSC Paper Accepted

Matlab + C#

eduardovelloso — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 13:23:23 +0000

Matlab is a powerful tool for everyone that works with sensor data. Recently, I have been developing some scripts in Matlab to make sense of some sensor data because it is very handy for prototyping algorithms. The final system, however, was to be implemented in C#. I thought I would have to reimplement all my algorithms, but then I found out that it is possible to connect C# applications to Matlab in several ways. I ended up calling my Matlab scripts using the COM interface.

Matlab + C#

This is how I did it:

1) Create a project in Visual Studio

2) Right-click on References > Add Reference

3) In the COM tab select “Matlab Aplication” and click OK

4) The following code creates the COM object

MLApp.MLApp matlab = new MLApp.MLApp();

5) Now you can access all Matlab functionality through the methods provided by this object. You can send commands with the Execute method which returns a string with the console output.
