• Prototyping Lab
• Attention from various industries
• Make: Tokyo Meeting and Make: Ogaki Meeting
• FabLab Japan
10. physical × wonder
• Based on wonder by KAYAC, inc.
online IDE with code sharing*1
http://wonder .net/
• Adopted the Funnel library for their web service
http://physical.wonder .net/
• Unveiled at Sketching in Hardware 09
*1 KAYAC, Inc. also released HTML5 version in 2010 at http://jsdo.it/
12. Otona-no Kagaku Magazine “Japanino”
http://otonanokagaku.net/magazine/vol27/
• A magazine with an Arduino clone board and
a P.O.V. display kit
• Sold at normal bookstores
• Since May 2010, MANY copies have been sold
• Initial audience was adults, now getting attention from
many sources including senior children at elementary
school
• Keep correlating successive issues (e.g. Japanese clock)
16. Japanino × wonder contest
http://wonder .net/event/japanino/
• Collaboration with physical × wonder
• Choose from two themes
• Let’s create a shing game
• Let’s connect Japanino × wonder to Twitter
• Not so many applications so far...
18. Prototyping Lab
http://prototypinglab.com/
• Published on May 22, 2010
• To ll gaps between “Getting Started with Arduino” and
“Making Things Talk”
• Various topics on prototyping
• Works (design, arts and hobby)
• Introduction of prototyping and Arduino
• Tutorial of electronics basics and Arduino
• Cookbook (38 recipes)

43. Attention from various industries
• Diamond Weekly, a popular weekly magazine focusing
on economics, nance and business, recently featured
personal fabrication and hobby electronics as
noteworthy activities
44. Make: Tokyo/Ogaki Meeting
• Tokyo: Started with 30 exhibitors and 600 visitors in
2008, now > 200 exhibitors and > 7000 visitors
• Ogaki: Expecting about > 100 exhibitors and > 4000
visitors (the rst meeting in a local city)
• Not as big as Maker Faire in the USA, but getting mixed
with Japanese pop culture
45. FabLab Japan
http://fablabjapan.org/
• Explore possibilities of personal fabrication with personal
machine tools
• Hold occasional “camps” to work together
• Researchers, designers and students from various
companies and universities
• Hiroya Tanaka (Keio SFC/MIT) will talk at FAB6
46. Craft ROBO (Graphtec, Inc.)
http://craftrobo.jp/product//
• Personal cutting machines from $250
48. A Thought Experiment on Integration
• There are various toolkits for physical computing that
support Arduino for ActionScript 3
• NETLab toolkit
http://www.netlabtoolkit.org/
• as3glue
http://code.google.com/p/as3glue/
• Funnel
http://funnel.cc/
• Among others, Funnel is similar to NETLab toolkit
49. How Funnel is similar to NETLab toolkit?
Funnel NETLab Toolkit
How to communicate
A proxy (Funnel Server) A proxy (Hub)
with hardware
Network protocol Open Sound Control Open Sound Control
Arduino, XBee, Make
Supported hardware Arduino, XBee, Gainer
Controller, DMX and MIDI
Supported languages AS3, Processing and Ruby AS3*1
Open source? Yes Yes
Programming style Text based GUI based (widgets)
Background of the main
Sound designer Recording engineer
designer
*1 Also compatible with various programming environments that support OSC (e.g. Processing, Max/MSP)
50. How we can collaborate?
• Integrate proxy applications into an uni ed hub
application
• Make software libraries compatible (i.e. unify addressing
scheme in Open Sound Control)
• Other ways to accelerate “expansion”
• Make illustrations in books open source
• Still want to keep diversity ;-)
