Spatial resolution, spectral contrast, and occlusion are three major bottlenecks in current imaging technologies for non-invasive inspection of complex samples such as closed books. We empower the time-of-flight capabilities of conventional THz time domai

DuoSkin is a fabrication process that enables anyone to create customized functional devices that can be attached directly on their skin. Using gold metal leaf, a material that is cheap, skin-friendly, and robust for everyday wear, we demonstrate three ty

Holosuite is an interactive end-to-end 3D telepresence application built for researching the applications of holographic and advanced 3D displays. Two distant 3D worlds are merged seamlessly into one, wherein a local user and a remote user can manipulate,

Are the things we’re inventing for the future taking into account our deepest human needs? The Advancing Wellbeing initiative explores not only health, but the culture of health: our physical, emotional, and social wellbeing. Advancing Wellbeing res

Live Objects are wireless devices that enrich a user’s experience of the surrounding environment. Live Objects are associated with real objects, and can stream media content without an Internet connection.

From January 25-29, 2016, the MIT Media Lab invited 11 Brazilian educators, researchers, artists, and entrepreneurs to attend the first Lemann Creative Learning Institute. For a week, the team worked with Media Lab faculty and students to design new techn

Reality Editor is a new kind of tool that empowers users to connect and manipulate the functionality of physical objects. With Reality Editor, the invisible capabilities of objects become visible–and editable. Drag a virtual line from one object to anothe

In an era where bio is the new interface, we are imagining a world where actuators and sensors can be grown rather than manufactured, and derived from nature as opposed to engineered in factories. bioLogic is a synthetic bio-skin that reacts to body heat

How can we design relationships between the most primitive and sophisticated life forms? Can we design wearables embedded with synthetic microorganisms that can enhance and augment biological functionality? Meet Mushtari, a 3D-printed wearable designed as
