At the @hardmodemit hackathon, we tried to rethink what future ai in objects should look likeā¦
When we think of giving ai physical capabilities, the first thought is a humanoid robot that can do everything, but that isnāt cute.
So instead of giving a bunch of new ability to one device, we tried to buff up each object a littlešŖ, so they can all coordinate and do stuff together in a way thatās slightly more lovely.
Which object is your favorite?

We are part of this yearās Core77 Design Awards jury in the Emerging Technologies category with Aria Xiying Bao @xixixi_aria and Greg Tran @gregtran .
From commercial to cultural, environmental to discursive, The Core77 Design Awards honor excellence across all areas of design enterprise. The Emerging Technologies category encompasses systems, services, research, hardware, or software products created with the aid of recently created or developed software and hardware technologies. Examples can include projects that incorporate the use of artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), blockchain technologies, robotics, biometrics, advanced materials or new production processes.

Twistorus
4.031 Design Studio: Objects and Interaction
Twistorus is a two-person digital camera that encourages intimate collaboration between its subjects. Users must coordinate to simultaneously capture their various body parts.
4.031 Design Studio: Objects and Interaction is an overview of design as the giving of form, order, and interactivity to the objects that define our daily experience. The second project asks students to design a novel digital camera.
[Blank] Scope is an AI-powered binocular that lets users see the world both as it isāand as it could be. One lens shows live reality, while the other reveals a real-time, AI-generated transformation based on the user's chosen time period and cultural perspective. By turning physical dials, users shift between historical visions and speculative futures, blending memory, perception, and imagination into a single, embodied experience.

Geni made its debut at Toy Fair NYC!
Geni @playgeni an audio-based storytelling machine that brings imagination to life. This is the first physical AI product to spin off from @designintelligencelab . Geni started as a project in 4.043 Interaction Intelligence and we couldnāt have made it this far without the amazing support from DesignX @mitdesignx , MAD @mitdesignacademy , and MIT Architecture @mitarchitecture@mitsap@designatmit@artsatmit
Noema is a large language object that segments and reconstructs human perception through spatialized audio experiences, such as ambient cues, storytelling, and music. By shifting perception from sight to sound, NOEMA turns AI into a sensory extension: an inner voice that sees, interprets, speaks, and even questions.

4.021 How to Design studentĀ @michelle_x.c took this photograph of the currently under renovation/construction Metropolitan Storage Warehouse, during a particularly brilliant sunset.
The Metropolitan Storage Warehouse is in the process of being transformed from a long abandoned storage warehouse into the future home of MIT Architecture, Urban Planning, and Morningside Academy for Design (MAD), by the architecture firms Diller Scofidio + Renfro (Highline NYC/ICA Boston) & Boston based Leers Weinzapfel.
