OscilloScribe

I've posted previously about Spirographs, but I got a comment from Peter on my previous post that alerted me to OscilloScribe. I wanted to give it a try and see how it compares. This is actually a much better applet for creating really cool spiral art. Here are a few of my attempts.

This program has a nice enough interface for creating almost any graph you want and it also allows you to save the image to your local hard drive. My only suggestion would be for the designer to make it a more traditional method for saving the images when you are done. Also, it would be kind of neat if you could alter the thickness of the drawing tool. Otherwise, it's easy to use and a lot of fun. Check out OscilloScribe today.

Story Machine Captures Sound, Images

July 23, 2007 - When it comes to writing, the pen and paper can take storytelling only so far.

Now a new technology allows kids - big and small - to embed sound into traditional drawings and create an interactive story-game. The Jabberstamp, invented by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is not only just fun to play with, it can also allow children to capture and share intricate ideas before they have mastered the skill of writing narratives.

We can help them learn new things that are really complex by giving them new toys, said Hayes Raffle, a Ph.D. candidate and research assistant. Raffle developed the device with fellow Ph.D. candidate Cati Vaucelle and Cornell University researcher Ruibing Wang.
