Speckled Computing

People Involved

Project Description

To establish a research infrastructure for realising minute (around 1 cubic millimetre) semiconductor specks which can sense, compute and communicate wirelessly. Specks, scattered or sprayed on the person or surfaces, will collaborate as programmable computational networks called specknets. This will allow seamless linkages between the material and digital worlds, and enable truly ubiquitous computing.
