Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.78,0:00:05.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Today, I'm going to talk to you about sketching electronics.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.19,0:00:10.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm, among several other things, an electrical engineer,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.56,0:00:14.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that means that I spend a good amount of time
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.26,0:00:18.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,designing and building new pieces of technology,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.63,0:00:23.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and more specifically designing and building electronics.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.17,0:00:27.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what I've found is that the process of designing
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.53,0:00:33.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and building electronics is problematic in all sorts of ways.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.12,0:00:37.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's a really slow process, it's really expensive,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.96,0:00:40.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the outcome of that process,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.40,0:00:42.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,namely electronic circuit boards,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.82,0:00:45.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are limited in all sorts of kind of interesting ways.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.85,0:00:49.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So they're really small, generally, they're square
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.49,0:00:53.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and flat and hard, and frankly, most of them
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.86,0:00:58.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just aren't very attractive, and so my team and I
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.17,0:01:02.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have been thinking of ways to really change and mix up
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.16,0:01:06.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the process and the outcome of designing electronics.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.82,0:01:10.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so what if you could design and build electronics
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.90,0:01:14.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like this? So what if you could do it extremely quickly,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.94,0:01:20.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,extremely inexpensively, and maybe more interestingly,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.61,0:01:25.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really fluidly and expressively and even improvisationally?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.87,0:01:29.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Wouldn't that be so cool, and that wouldn't that open up
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.20,0:01:31.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all sorts of new possibilities?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.64,0:01:35.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm going to share with you two projects that are
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.03,0:01:39.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,investigations along these lines, and we'll start with this one.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.74,0:01:45.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Video) Magnetic electronic pieces and ferrous paper.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.47,0:01:49.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A conductive pen from the Lewis lab at UIUC.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.31,0:01:52.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sticker templates.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.18,0:01:54.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Speed x 4.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.26,0:02:14.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Making a switch.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.21,0:02:24.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Music: DJ Shadow.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.18,0:02:43.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Adding some intelligence with a microcontroller.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.74,0:03:00.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sketching an interface.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.27,0:03:12.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Music)
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.64,0:03:17.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.80,0:03:23.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.51,0:03:26.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Pretty cool, huh? We think so.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.51,0:03:30.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So now that we developed these tools
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.29,0:03:34.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and found these materials that let us do these things,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.03,0:03:38.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we started to realize that, essentially, anything
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.20,0:03:40.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we can do with paper, anything that we can do
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.58,0:03:42.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with a piece of paper and a pen
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.100,0:03:45.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can now do with electronics.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.41,0:03:47.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the next project that I want to show you is kind of a
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.78,0:03:51.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,deeper exploration of that possibility.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.34,0:03:55.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I'll kind of let it speak for itself.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.21,0:05:25.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Music)
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.65,0:05:31.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.02,0:05:35.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the next step for us in this process
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.82,0:05:39.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is now to find a way to let all of you
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.55,0:05:42.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,build things like this,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:42.44,0:05:45.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so the way that we're approaching that is by
Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.52,0:05:48.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,teaching workshops to people where we explain
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.13,0:05:51.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how they can use these kinds of tools, and then also
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.24,0:05:54.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,working to get the tools and the materials and techniques
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.99,0:05:58.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,out into the real world in a variety of ways.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.74,0:06:02.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so sometime soon, you'll be able to play and build
Dialogue: 0,0:06:02.32,0:06:06.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and sketch with electronics in this fundamentally new way.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.11,0:06:10.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So thank you very much. (Applause)
