SWIFT 2.0 has been presented by Apple a few months ago, with the interesting announcement of its Open Source release. Skepticals say that this “open source approach” on a programming language used only by Apple will benefit itself and none else. In any case, the open license release means that even a giant monopolistic company…

You have a…
Our friend Franco Lanza is gathering funds to launch a very interesting project. Who knows what a KWM is? Yes, usually are those quite expensive and not very flexible platforms used to virtualize a keyboard, a video and a mouse to remote a computer. Franco is working at a low cost, open source and very…
A popular reddit thread over the weekend has brought to the surface a long-roiling, behind-the-scenes debate about the future of the nascent virtual reality revival. The questions being debated get into what exactly it means for a head-mounted display to be an “open platform,” and who, if anyone, will be able to set critical standards…
A few weeks ago, my doctor told me to keep an eye on my heart with the help of DIY toolkit BITalino, and I wrote about it in Why my doctor prescribed me open hardware. Although I could keep slapping a bunch of cables and a PCB on me every day, miniaturized physiological computing devices…
After a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter concluded last March, the startup VIPER released the first version of its development suite.

Home-rental company Airbnb introduced a new open-source project called Aerosolve. The new tool, announced at Airbnb’s 2015 OpenAir developer conference in San Francisco, powers new pricing tips for hosts. Written mostly in the Java and Scala programming languages, Aerosolve can also more intelligently rank and order things like images. “This library is meant to be…
Although we’ve seen how much of an impact 3D printed prosthetic devices can have from both a design customization standpoint as well as cost, we’re still yet to see just how much of an impact a 3D printed ‘smart’ prosthetic may have as we move into a new generation of connected devices. While we’ve previously…
3D Printing is strongly pushing the research and development of human and animal prosthetic forward. Organizations like e-Nable are gathering funds to help reaching more people both on scientists side and on patients as well, while also clever and motivated individuals are leading by example with their awesome work. An Industrial Design student residing in…
