Kouta Minamizawa (JP), Yasuaki Kakehi (JP), Masashi Nakatani (JP), Soichiro Mihara (JP) and Susumu Tachi (JP) have been working for a considerable time now on the development of haptic interfaces and technology to thereby add a third medium – in addition to audio and video – to the creative repertoire available to digital art and design. To precisely describe what they’re after, Kakehi & Co. have coined the term “techtile,” a portmanteau word that combines “technology” and “tactile.”

Project: Creation of a Sonic Toolkit
Production: Radium Audio
Agency: Baby Creative
Brand: Action for Children
Background: When Advertising Agency, Baby Creative asked Radium Audio to develop the sonic identity for a growing brand - the children’s charity, Action for Children - Creative Director Andrew Diey seized the opportunity for Radium Audio to deliver a ‘sonic toolkit’ for use across all the charity’s media touch points.
As marketing professionals become aware of the importance of the sonic identity in relation to communication of a brand, Radium Audio is at the forefront of this development.
The ‘sonic toolkit’ contains 15 individual sonic tools: Extended versions of the “as long it takes” advertising campaign music score, sound mnemonics at varying durations, digital button clicks for online & Powerpoint use, Action for Children themes which have been extended for phone systems, and a master theme for use at live events and presentations.
How we did it: Radium Creative Director, Andrew Diey explains the approach, “Having scored the music for 4 of the TVC and Radio adverts last year we knew people had empathy for the work of the charity and we wanted to extend this affinity through emotive connection into as many platforms as possible. When we were asked by Baby Creative to develop a sonic identity, we felt that there was a deeper connection to be made between Action for Children and its supporters so we suggested that Radium Audio creates a “sonic toolkit” for all possible channels and varying lengths, formats etc. We gave Action for Children rights to use the content across as many channels as they needed”
Baby Creative was receptive to the idea and worked with Radium Audio to develop a brief for the ‘Sonic Toolkit’.
Says Diey, “We specialize in articulating the essence and soul of a brand using sound and as this sonic toolkit is a global first for a charity, we created a short film to accompany the creative process behind the story”
Sounds we created include: Sonic Ident, Music Beds, Mnemonics

Sandia National Laboratories has developed the first wind turbine radar interference modeling toolkit to mitigate this potential barrier to deployment. The Tools for Siting, Planning, and Encroachment Analysis for Renewables toolkit enables developers to pinpoint the location of radar equipment, analyze impacts of the proposed wind turbines on that radar, and offer potential alternate locations for those turbines causing the chief problems. As a result, developers can better site and configure wind plants to minimize their detrimental impact on radars, making the airspace safer and more secure while opening more areas to wind development.

Project Wonderland is an open source toolkit for building 3D virtual worlds for business and education collaboration. Within a Wonderland virtual! world, p s, interact with team members, and have chance encounters with colleagues, all using natural voice interaction. Most importantly, real work can be accomplished with Wonderland's support of X and Java applications as well as innovative telephone integration. With application sharing as the default, people can create, edit, and share documents within the virtual world.
Wonderland is built on top of the Project Darkstar game server platform, which provides enterprise-grade scalability, reliability, and flexible integration with other enterprise systems.

USAID’s Water and Conflict Toolkit for Programming, a document designed to help development practitioners gain a deeper understanding of the forces driving violence and instability related to water, was launched on February 24 at the Wilson Center. Written by USAID’s Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation, the Wilson Center, and Group W Inc., the toolkit provides guidance to development professionals not familiar with water and conflict dynamics, with the aim of developing more strategic and focused interventions.
To discuss how the toolkit resonates with their experiences were a bevy of water experts: Gidon Bromberg, 2008 TIME Magazine Environmental Hero and two-time recipient of the Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship; Geoffrey Dabelko, Director of the Voinovich School's Environmental Studies Program at Ohio University and Senior Advisor to ECSP; Chris Kosnik, director of USAID’s Office of Water and a long-time development practitioner; Sandra Ruckstuhl, co-author of the toolkit and development and conflict expert; and Aaron Wolf, a renowned expert on transboundary water resources and political conflict and cooperation.
