Advances in low- and no-power sensing, communication and interaction technologies offer new possibilities for blending digital innovation with our physical environment.
From gesture recognition that allows people to interact with objects in new ways, to low-power sensors that collect and transmit data about temperature, air quality, urban accessibility and more, our researchers are tapping into the potential of computation to transform how we experience the world around us.

UW News
Researchers in the Makeability Lab developed MobiPrint, a 3D printer that can map a room and generate objects on demand — from accessibility enhancements to a custom cat food bowl.
UW News
Allen School researchers introduced two new AI systems that create simulations based on real-world photos or videos that can be used to train robots to function in complex, real-world settings at a lower cost than conventional approaches.
GeekWire
A hot Seattle startup developing autonomous driving technology for off-road vehicles announced a $10 million seed round to fuel its growth — the latest milestone for the UW spinout co-founded by Allen School professor Byron Boots.
