magic in progress✨

d4.5 of building an interactive polaroid Human Computer Lab - implemented a different interactive paradigm: Shahvir Sarkary envisioned a new photo gallery where you don’t scroll through images, rather recalling memories (when was the last time i was sad -> show image of ex) -

d6 of building an interactive polaroid at Human Computer Lab added two new interaction mode: 1. Locket: the camera now acts as an instant photo sharing device, photos you take will immediately appear on friends’ devices, kinda like Locket or BeReal 2. Memory: the camera reminds you

Project [Memento] A 2-week research sprint to bring joy back to digital memories and experimentation with new hardware. Read our research: research.humancomputerlab.com/bring-joy-back…

We just wrapped our second experiment at Human Computer Lab This time it was on human memory and attachment with physical/digital objects. In this sprint, we built a total of 6 use cases for an interactive polaroid image, from stuff like StreamDiffusion Portal: point the image

Memory is a deep, concentrated strand of human experience. From Paleolithic rock art and oral traditions to the camera, we’ve tried to outlast the moment - to push meaning past mortality. Now we face a paradox of abundance: we can capture almost everything yet recall little.

day 1 of project [lamp] and FR8

2025/07/29 Recap - Did tons of refreshing and learning today Refresh System Design’s knowledge: - Watched Six little line of fail (youtube.com/watch?v=VvUdvt…): super useful for folks designing multi step flow, identify failure and how to mitigate - Read your coffee shop doesn’t use

day 2 project [lamp]

day 3 project [lamp], inhaled way too much spray paint 💀 Binh Pham

Day 3 of developing LeLamp - an open-source robot inspired by Apple’s Elegnt paper. Most robots today focus on function, but expression is what makes them relatable. It’s how they connect, communicate, and feel alive. Seeing a lack in expressive robot research, Human Computer Lab is

LeLamp will come alive soon!

👀

this is Le Lamp. an open source expressive robot. designed for building new human-robot interaction paradigms. our github: github.com/humancomputerl… discord community: discord.gg/48pfGZwP order a Le Lamp kit: forms.gle/MMAUhQU96zvtjQ…

if you have been following our work, this is insane progress in 9 days.

Do you want LeLamp to be sassy or joyful?

Today we are opensourcing a new design for LeLamp. We made a video explaining our process. From sketch to simulation in 14 days. There will be more updates in the coming weeks. We are constantly iterating and aiming to create the best experience for building expressive robots.

Human Computer Lab is now backed by South Park Commons and @FR8. We are researching and building expressive robots. Our journey will be long, and this marks the start.
