Here are my slides (click for PDF) summarizing what we are trying to accomplish.

Three students — David Hayden, Yafim Landa, and Sophie Diehl — showed their prototype “person recognition jacket” which runs face-detection in real-time.

Dr. Maurice Fallon showed a wearable system that builds a map of an indoor environment as you walk through it.

PhD student Carl Vondrick showed a with labels for both static and moving objects.
