...usually the case on the Mainstage, the technical elements of “Lucie Cabrol” are lovely. The lighting, designed by Joshua Randall, casts much of the play in a dimly-lit zone, with some nice effects (the red light spilling from a wood stove, for example) that occasionally verge into gimmickry (the coffin-shaped spotlight that Lucie lies in, for example...
...soon followed up the blue LED with the first bright green and white LEDs. An LED is a semiconductor that generates light, but very little heat, when an electric current is passed through it. Different semiconductor materials produce different colors; Nakamura used gallium nitride, which generates blue and white light. The resulting LEDs use as little as one-seventh the energy as an incandescent bulb and can last about 100 times as long, up to 100,000 hours. If they were widely used, LEDs could lead to enormous energy savings and carbon-emissions reductions. In the developing world, LEDs paired...
...think this production seeks to tell a story by pushing the boundaries between theater and dance,” Videt says. “I hope it will be a visceral journey for an audience through innovative use of text, bodies, music, and light.” Even beyond movement, the creators say “The Three Lives” is a sensory and experimental production that features an exotic score and a set complete with farm equipment—as well as the scent of fresh mulch. The actors’ dialogue ranges from the squawking of chickens...
...researchers and BBN Technologies engineers together to create a unique wireless network that can be used for research ranging from high school projects to doctoral theses. Cambridge will be the first city to install the sensor nodes, which will be placed on or inside small boxes, on its street-light poles next year. “CitySense will be the information backbone, the wireless network that allows [any sensors] to talk to each other,” Welsh said. Depending on researchers’ needs, sensors that monitor different environmental aspects, such as radiation, could be interfaced...
...real world environment?’”Though it will center on gaming, don’t expect the Review to provide a shopping list.According to Li, the first issue of the review will not review games at all, but rather address them in a more scholarly light, covering topics such as games and learning, the concept of value in virtual worlds, and the political and civic impact of video games. GAMING IN THE LABORATORYA number of professors have agreed to contribute to the Review, touting the positive benefits and principles that can be gained from video games...
