Phidget Video Gallery
Programmers use the Phidgets hardware/software toolkit to rapidly prototype interfaces. These videos show examples of what various people have built with phdigets. Most are from an undergraduate class where they learn phidgets, design an idea, and implement the system in a few weeks. Note that projects range from very crude, quick and dirty 'sketches' to somewhat more realistic prototypes to ones reported in refereed publications.
Other videos are available through the sidebar. Published Refereed Videos collect our fully refereed video publications. iLab Video Reports is our catalog of unrefereed videos produced mostly by graduate students and faculty.
