This project leverages the AI capabilities of LuminAI’s virtual agent to offer an engaging, interactive experience for senior adults that encourages physical exercise in order to lead to improved quality of life. Our version of LuminAI’s virtual agent helps senior adults follow along various types of exercises and personalizes their workout based on their needs. Using gesture-based tracking, LuminAI for Senior Adults also provides seniors with real-time feedback on the quality of their physical movements. The system consists of three modes that allow both individual and group workouts, thus pr

The Space Table is an interactive informal experience to teach children about the formation of solar systems and how gravity, and mass play a role in their creation. Additionally, the project will explore the concepts of different celestial bodies such as stars, planets, asteroids, neutron stars, black holes, and others. The installation will make use of three tangibles, one for a different star size. Interactors will use the tangibles to “stamp” a star on the table, which will spawn a digital star.

We use Augmented Reality presentation and sensing technologies to integrate design studio learning models into screen-based classrooms. The goal of this approach is to create STEM learning experiences that encourage creativity, innovation and help build strong peer learning environments. To accomplish this goal we implement room-scale augmented reality technology with projection-based presentation and sensing technologies -- projecting on surfaces and using depth sensing for unencumbered interaction (see http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/roomalive/).
