Join us as two student researchers, Isaac Levine and Nate Marrufo, share their methods and preliminary results in real-time tracking people using acoustic and optical techniques inspired by nature and science fiction.

The spaces we work, play, and learn in are becoming more complex but at the same time they are becoming more personalized. Imagine a space that knew where you were, what you were interacting with, and what your preferences are. Is it the next step in automation and convenience or is it entering the realm of "creepy"?

Isaac Levine is a senior in the Performing Arts Technology program and Nate Marrufo is a senior in Mechanical Engineering, both driven by the creative application of technology.

Emergent Research events are aimed at better understanding the various types of research undertaken across campus, particularly as they relate to library services and support, opportunities for collaboration, data management and preservation, and beyond.
