Project Details
- "The Cyberarium Knowledge Fountain is an innovative, integrative, and interactive platform which will stimulate discovery and exploration of creative and socially enriching interactive techniques through intelligence engaging, imagination inducing hands-on experiences with novel human-computer interaction devices."
- "The Knowledge Fountain is a portable, self-contained, easily deployed workstation configurable for use as a rapid prototyping system for new human-computer interfaces. Using various sensors, interface boxes, and data-flow networking software, the knowledge fountain allows for rapid development of new ways to get information from the physical environment to the communication system."
- "Knowledge Fountain is being used in schools and cyber camps as a tool for teaching kids about information system."
- "Cyberarium Knowledge Fountain is an opportunity:
- - to demonstrate socially responsible applications of communication technology
- - to provide a social exchange at which multiple communities can explore unconventional applications of advanced technological concepts
- - to identify key areas where information technologies can be effectively applied to improve quality of life
- - to encourage young minds to explore science and think about how to make the world a better place"
