Well I decided to follow this trend of people putting up blogs for their abroad studies. Though I'm already in Berlin, I suppose I could back track a bit and keep you all updated.
So why Berlin? Well a while back I posted on my Facebook about this project called Constructable, where a laser cutter was given cutting instructions through a combination of a laser pointer and computer vision. I had stumbled upon it while looking for somewhere to apply for the PhD. Well I never figured out where the project was being done So o gave up then. But when I was visiting UW for admit weekend, I happened to have joined Lilian DeGreef to a hci talk. When the speaker, professor Patrick Baudisch, flashed a picture of one of his student, Stefanie Mueller, and said he will be talking about her work for Constructables, I almost fell out of my chair. After the talk I went up and jokingly asked about an internship and well long story short, I got the job. And So for the next three months, I'll be doing some exciting HCI research over at Hasso Plattner Institut.
Not quite sure what I'll be doing yet but I really hope to join Stefanie on her rapid prototyping work. Guess I'll find out on Monday.
