Georgia Tech showcases at SC09 Nov. 14-20, 2009, in Portland.

The Georgia Institute of Technology announced its receipt of a five-year, $12 million Track 2 award from the National Science Foundation to develop and deploy an innovative and experimental high-performance computing (HPC) system.

Researchers at Georgia Tech have discovered that, contrary to previous assumptions, older adults are more amenable than younger ones to having a robot "perform critical monitoring tasks that would require little interaction between the robot and the human.

Scientists at Georgia Tech decided to test our ability to interpret a robot’s “emotion” by reading its expression to see if there were any differences between the ages. They found that older adults showed some unexpected differences in the way they read a robot’s face from the way younger adults performed.

The FutureMedia Initiative will kick off October 15 with a day-long conference aimed at encouraging dialogue about what Georgia needs to do to create an open innovation ecosystem for developing media of the future.

Carl DiSalvo, assistant professor of Digital Media in Georgia Tech's Ivan Allen College, and David Holstius are debuting their work We Are Survival Machines at Le Flash 2009 on October 2.

Renu Kulkarni, formerly vice president for technology partnerships at the Motorola Corp., has been named to head Georgia Tech's new FutureMedia Initiative.

Glitch introduces teenaged African American boys to the gaming industry as game testers for companies such as Electronic Arts, Game Tap and Cartoon Network. Researchers are finding that more than half of the game testers are now interested in furthering their education in computer science.

Carl DiSalvo and Jonathan Lukens at Georgia Tech are working with Youth Art Connection and the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Atlanta to teach middle school and high school students interested in the arts and humanities how they can use their skills to create innovative uses of technology, not just build the technology.

Ian Bogost's students re-create visual artifacts of old TV video games for the flat-screen age.

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a mobile application known as Sun Dial, which alerts Muslim users when it's time to perform the five daily prayers known as salat.

Thursday at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, game studies researchers presented their list of the top 10 most unexpected findings for video game designers over the past year.

Ian Bogost talks about his latest book, Racing the Beam about the Atari Video Computer System.

Most students like to play video games, but Georgia Tech students Holden Link, Cory Johnson and Ian Guthridge have built and are selling their own. Their game, Audiball, was launched during the first week of Xbox Community Games in November.

Researchers at Georgia Tech are developing technologies to advance human interaction with music.

Georgia Tech's Music Department is still making great music, but the department is also creating a name for itself in the technology world.

Music Technology Professor Jason Freeman is exploring new ways for audiences to interact with performers. His research includes both live audience participation and online applications

Georgia Tech researchers are using music to aid the visually impaired in understanding the movements and displays featured in aquariums, zoos, museums and other dynamic facilities.

Georgia Tech researchers are using technology to make learning to play instruments a little easier. Piano touch is a light-weight glove that is outfitted with electronics that cue the musician with vibrations on each finger that lets them know which finger they need use to play the next note.

Georgia Tech has created an improved version of the robotic percussionist. The second edition, named Shimon, is designed to play a melodic instrument, the marimba. It, therefore, utilizes more sophisticated algorithms for music perception and improvisation in comparison to Haile, Georgia Tech's first robotic drummer.

Georgia Tech researchers are using their engineering expertise to study how to build better musical instruments.

Georgia Tech today launches the new Center for Music Technology with more than 20 researchers from the arts, sciences and engineering. Several interdisciplinary projects already in progress will be demonstrated today at an exclusive launch event for potential collaborators
