Kai-yuh Hsiao
MIT Media Laboratory, 20 Ames Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139-4307 (electronic mail: khsiao@mit.edu).
Mr. Hsiao is a graduate student at MIT and a British Telecom Fellow in the Media Lab's Responsive Environments Group, working on physical sensors and new technologies for interactive music. He received his B.S. degree from MIT in electrical engineering and computer science in 1999. His interests in computers, electronics, and music started at a very early age.
Ari Y. Benbasat
MIT Media Laboratory, 20 Ames Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139-4307 (electronic mail: ayb@media.mit.edu).
Mr. Benbasat is a research associate in the Responsive Environments Group at the MIT Media Lab, where he currently pursues research as a Toshiba Fellow on real-time gesture recognition algorithms for use with low-cost inertial sensors. His other interests include smart sensor systems and the design of transparent intuitive interfaces for interactive exhibits. He received a B.A.Sc. degree in engineering physics from the University of British Columbia, Canada, in 1998.
Zoe Teegarden
MIT Media Laboratory, 20 Ames Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02141-4307 (electronic mail: zct@media.mit.edu).
Ms. Teegarden is currently a joint graduate student at the MIT Media Lab and the MIT Microsystems Technology Laboratories. She is working on low-power, lightweight transmitters and reconfigurable software radio base stations for asymmetric wireless sensing projects. Previously she collaborated with Joseph Paradiso in designing and building the hardware for Bruce Blumberg's Swamped! exhibit. She received a B.S. degree in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT in 1998.
