We develop a reconfigurable legged robot, named Snapbot, to emulate configuration changes and various styles of legged locomotion.

We present the potential of computational intelligence to empower authors and content creators in creating their own interactive animated stories.

A 144 fps transparent LCD panel is used in conjunction with a transparent backlight, controllably diffusive smartglass screen, and optional switching background lighting

The Switching Dual Layer Display with a Dynamic LCD Mask is a multi-layer three-dimensional display capable of independent layer content and occlusion between layers.

We use a transparent LCD panel as a programmable dynamic mask.

We design and demonstrate a four-lens folded optical cloak and a three-lens inverted cloak with an erecting prism.

We introduce a miniaturized active stabilization mechanism that attenuates such disturbances and keeps the camera steady.
