Other than stylus and finger touch recognition, the precise and reliable V-Sense touch technology design allows multiuser interaction up to 10 simultaneous touches. The ultra-narrow aluminum frame gives the i3BOARD a sleek appearance and makes maintenance easy, lowering the long term total cost of ownership.
For Paulo Mellett, on his birthday, as he continues the cycle...
Pen on paper, 17.5 x 17.5 cm. And a rather lengthy interpretation of the imagery...
The Triskelle or Triskellion, is a pre-celtic spiral design. It consists of three separate spirals rotating in the same direction around a central, circular point, and themselves forming a circle. The three spirals consist of a single, continuous line. For thousands of years, it has represented the continuum of life and various three-fold elements: life, death, rebirth; past, present, future; spirit, mind, body etc. More than any other meaning, though, it represents the three elements of Air, Water and Earth, and the flow of energy through these.
Because of the inter-connectedness of the three spirals, it is sometimes said to represent three threes, or nines, particularly the nine months of pregnancy that result in life and continue the three-fold cycle of life, death and rebirth. It is observable that the various three-fold natures it represents can interact with each other in this multiplicitous way... ie, the three elements of air, water and earth can all pass through life, death and rebirth, or the way in which our spirit, mind and body are influenced by past, present future. So the significance of the Triskellion is always exponential, growing and expanding within its continuum.
Within this design, all three of the physical elements are present.
Water is represented by waves, bubbles, a ship journeying and three fish. The bubbles show it’s interaction with air, and the ship journeys between two points of land or earth. The waves and journeying represent transience and movement in this malleable element. In Irish mythology, three ancient salmon were said to be the oldest creatures in the world. They lived in a pool under an oak tree. The Oak was older even than the salmon, and contained all wisdom. As the oak dropped its acorns into the pool, the salmon fed on them, and thus they came to hold all wisdom themselves.
Rocks, minerals and fossils represent Earth, rising to high mountains and producing plants and life. Most prominent of these plants is an apple tree, and curling amongst its branches is a snake, the most earthly and earthbound of creatures. This image is usually interpreted in terms of the biblical genesis account as the first moment of ‘sin’. I prefer to see it as an allegory of the moment of awakening of human consciousness... choosing independence to eat of the tree of knowledge. The bible also uses the image of a snake in a tree as a symbol of healing, though this more positive notion of earth and fruitfulness gets forgotten!
The trees roots grow out of the water, and its leaves are blown away by the third element of Air. Here, air is made visible in terms of curling winds, stars, a flock of wild geese and a rainbow. The latter of these is always seen as a promise of good things, light in the rain. Wild geese are often used as a Celtic symbol of the spirit... it is wild, untameable, strong, it travels huge distances. It represents the enduring, eternal nature of that spirit as whilst the goose disappears and is absent for many months of the year, it always returns. Therefore its long journeying represents travel of a spiritual nature. Very loosely, the stars form part of the constellation of Draco, the dragon, the largest constellation. It is suggested that the layout of the many ancient Cambodian temples form a map of the constellation of Draco across the land.
In the centre of all this lies the sun, representing the fourth element of fire. Its rays spread out through the picture, energising the other elements. All four elements are again represented in the corner pieces.
Circling the whole image is a snake swallowing its tale. For millennia, this continuous circle has represented eternity and the cycle of life, death and rebirth.
ORLANDO, Fla. - Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) joined their active duty and Reserve Officer Training Corps brothers and sisters in welcoming tens of thousands of spectators to the Florida Classic, one of the nation’s largest football rivalries between two historically black colleges: Bethune–Cookman University and Florida A&M University.
In the hours leading to the opening kickoff Nov. 19, 2016, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla., the Soldiers helped members from the Army Marketing Research Group encourage BCU and FAMU fans to test their strength, endurance and mental aptitude in various interactive activities featured at the Go Army booths. The troops motivated men and women from all walks of life to set personal records for planks, pullups and pushups. They also lent a hand in several creative challenges that emphasized teamwork and critical thinking.
Many of the thousands of fans who waited for their turn to don blindfolds, solve puzzles or perform pullups spoke with the troops about their training, experience and aspirations. While these casual conversations opened opportunities to introduce potential recruits to the Army’s robust enlisted and Reserve Officer Training Corps programs, they also fostered greater respect and understanding about the Army’s role in developing strong communities and mutually beneficial partnerships both at home and abroad.
The fans’ energy, enthusiasm and camaraderie also demonstrated that the Florida Classic and the U.S. Army share common values. Their sincere interest in learning about the Army’s vision, capabilities and career opportunities exemplified how rivalries on the gridiron can shape resilient individuals who possess the character qualities to lead and mentor men and women on the battlefield.
Several Soldiers received complimentary access to the field during the game. Army Master Sgt. Shantell D. Aviles, noncommissioned officer-in-charge, Office of the Inspector General, 143d ESC, watched many Florida Classic football games during her childhood and teenage years. Although she and her family were no strangers to seeing the game from the stands, Aviles had never before set foot on the sidelines. With a smile never left her face, she took full advantage of the exclusive press pass to take photos with the mascots, shake hands with the drum majors, and cheer her FAMU Rattlers from the endzone.

Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of the interacting galaxies Arp 293.
Original caption: Some galaxies are closer friends than others. While many live their own separate, solitary lives, others stray a little too close to a near neighbour and take their relationship to the next level. The galaxy in this Picture of the Week, named NGC 6286, has done just that! Just out of frame lies its partner, NGC 6285. Together, the duo is named Arp 293 and they are interacting, their mutual gravitational attraction pulling wisps of gas and streams of dust from them, distorting their shapes, and gently smudging and blurring their appearances on the sky — to Earth-based observers, at least. The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has viewed a number of interacting pairs. These can have distinctive, beautiful, and downright odd shapes, ranging from sheet music to a spaceship entering a sci-fi-esque wormhole, a bouquet of celestial blooms, and a penguin fiercely guarding its precious egg. Arp 293 is located in the constellation of Draco (The Dragon), and lies over 250 million light-years from Earth.
@ my workplace. Ss are so excited about the new thing that they didn't even notice I took this pic. Will it last long?
We've seen this chalkboard van every year at the Fremont Fair. This time, Evan drew tally marks on the front and wrote "TALLY" next to them. I'm not sure what he was tallying.
Futile Type, an interactive video installation, borrows the often-used metaphor of the typewriter to represent the deteriorating autonomy of the author and his changing relations with the reader. The user is confronted with an old dusty typewriter on a table, preloaded with a sheet of white paper on which a person smoking a cigarette is projected. When the user presses the keys of the typewriter, the hands of the projected man react and place blotches of ink on his face. Lines of verse start to appear above his head. The text is pre-written and the user cannot write back.

Haley Lussier (10) and Isabella Privitera (10) discuss how they and their small group in Interact club will change the global environment for the better. Every Tuesday during lunch in Mrs. Dhoot's room, they meet together to examine current world issues, and in this smaller group they eventually agree that they want to aid the coastlines and gather litter. "I heard there was a lot of pollution in the ocean and a lot of garbage along the coast, and I want to help he wildlife out there" - Isabella, Interact president.
This retail experience reinvents the traditional retail shoe display. Women’s shoes are arranged on a low table while an interactive spotlight surrounds each shoe. When an intrigued shopper picks up a shoe, they are rewarded with digital information that appears in the space where the shoe was resting. They access comments about the shoe from other shoppers (online and off), hero product photos of the shoe on models, and information about which sizes and alternate styles are available.
In addition to product information, every interaction also creates a visual cascade that spreads out across the whole table. This visual display creates a playful, engaging spectacle that attracts other shoppers to pick up and discover the effect each product creates. It’s an experience shoppers will want to share and recreate with friends and family.

Outdoor Image of MRISAR’s “Interactive; Robotics, Technology, Invention, Art & Nature Center”. At this time in our transformation, Public Admission is by Appointment Only!
MRISAR Team Members Aurora & Autumn Siegel are creating a flower garden.
Photo taken in New Leipzig, North Dakota on 7-26-11 by MRISAR Team Member Victoria Croasdell-Siegel.
In 2010 MRISAR, (a business that has Designed, Fabricated & Marketed the Earth’s Largest Selection of “Internationally Renowned & Awarded, World-Class Robotics Exhibits & Devices”; and “Hands On” Scientific, Technological & Interactive Art Exhibits), purchased a disused school on the plains of North Dakota and relocated to it. Profit from their International Exhibit Sales helps fund their Humanitarian R&D and the transformation of the 36,000 sq. ft. complex, surrounded by 10 acres in North Dakota, into a World-Class “Interactive, Robotics, Technology, Invention, Art & Nature Center”.
Description of MRISAR’s “Interactive; Robotics, Technology, Invention, Art & Nature Center”.
1- Our 7,000 sq. ft. Exhibit Hall will feature; our standard line of interactive robotic & technology exhibits that we sell to Centers world-wide and our exclusive collection of robotic exhibits & devices that we will not sell to anyone else. Our talking Rail Robot Guide will lead visitors through the exhibit hall. Interact with our innovative, lifelike, futuristic, Robotic creations. Examples; Play with & feed Artificial Life forms in a Robot Zoo! Challenge robots with your human intelligence! Interact with otherworldly artistic, interactive, robotic sculptures! It will also feature Responsible Technologies.
2- Our Art Galleries will display the hundreds of pieces of family friendly, original 2D, 3D and Interactive Art that our team has already created, plus have revolving Family Oriented Local Artists Exhibitions.
3- The surrounding 10 acres is slowly being transformed into an Outdoor Interactive Art & Nature Area that will be filled with paths, trees, gardens and kinetic & interactive, solar & wind, technological art sculptures. The emphasis is edible, medicinal & organic landscapes that promote sustainability & health. As of 2015 over 3,000 edible and medicinal trees and shrubs have been planted.
4- We will provide “Special Tours” of behind the scenes areas. Examples are; (a) our Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development Think Tank Invention labs that feature our R & D Projects. (b) the actual workshops where the attractions are created (similar to visiting the workshops & creations of Jim Henson’s creature shop). (c) a behind the scenes view of the production studio for the web series we are creating called the “Mysterious Lab of Robotics” (our robotic version of “Bill Nye the Science Guy” or “Beakman’s World”). (d) a chance to meet MRISAR’s internationally renowned robotics R & D team. A four member family team who since 2000 has designed, fabricated & marketed the earth’s largest selection of world-class robotic exhibits. The 2 youngest members joined the team as preschoolers.
5- “Public Enrichment Events”. Examples are; (a) special overnight events called “A Night with the Robots” (available no-where else in the world). Families can make reservations to spend the night on the center floor in sleeping bags or cots and experience special robotic demonstrations in a futuristic atmosphere. In recent years “A Night at the Museum” events have become very popular and highly accepted. (b) special classes on robotics for the general public. (c) Robotics Competitions. We are already providing technical assistance to teachers and academic establishments (both in the state and outside of the country), that are trying to enter robotic competitions, but lack the knowledge to fully instruct and inspire their students. A natural progression for this, once we are open for tourism, would be to offer to hold regional, national and international competitions at our location. (d) International conferences regarding Robotics and Beneficial R & D Conferences. (e) Collaborations, enrichment classes and internships in enhanced technologies with higher academic establishments; combining elements such as Cybernetics, Bionics, Mechatronics, Autonomics, Animatronics & Teleoperation.
6- Admission will be free to the underprivileged. We hope to inspire the upcoming generation to create careers in responsible technologies that improve the quality of life.
7- The proceeds from the Center will help fund our R & D and further our creation of a “Prototype Environment, low cost, low impact, self-sustaining, alternative energy powered, Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development institute with Think Tank Invention labs”. Our purpose is to invent and present responsible, low cost and easy to implement, beneficial humanitarian and environmental based technologies and methods that assist with social, ecological, sustainable and economic solutions. Accomplishing the prototype environment alone requires research & development of new technologies & improvement of existing technologies.
We have Designed, Fabricated & Marketed the Earth’s Largest Selection of "Internationally Renowned & Awarded" World-Class Robotics Exhibits & Devices; and “Hands On” Scientific, Technological & Interactive Art Exhibits. Our innovative, interactive, inexpensive, durable & easy to maintain creations incorporate interactive technologies & designs for people with disabilities and other special needs. We also provide our own Educational Kits & Materials for K thru 12/College & University level curriculums.
Our Exhibit Sales Customers include World-Class Science Centers, Museums, Universities, NASA, Royalty, Foreign & Domestic Governments, the Film Industries for inclusion in media productions, etc. We specialize in Cybernetics, Bionics, Mechatronics, Autonomics, Animatronics & Teleoperated devices.
Our Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development has been presented before and/or published and awarded by: the United Nations, NASA-Emhart, Stanford, Cambridge, ICORR, ROMAN, IEEE, Discover Awards, International Federation of Robotics (IFR), etc. Our 1990's circa, original innovative R & D in "Facial Feature Controlled Technology" and "Artificial Sense of Touch Technology" (Adaptive Technology prototypes for the disabled), has helped pioneer those fields! We were the only company in the world to be awarded an entire chapter regarding our work in the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) “World Robotics; Service Robotics, 2011”.
