The NYU Interactive Telecommunications Program Spring Student Show was great yesterday. The student projects were all very impressive, and this was one of the best shows in recent years.

The main theme this year was physical objects connected, networked, interacting with users and software. Waves of Leaves was one of my favorites for combining art esthetics with interaction:

Loyalty, WiiDraw, Funji, Blogicks, Moving Parts were all project combining physical setups with software and very impressive. Another interesting project:

There were also some very interesting software projects, for example Virtual Curator, imightlikeu, HanaHana, PostFort, Claymation for Curriculum (watch a claymation movie made by 9-year olds!). ITP is definitely feeding the New York technology companies with great talent. The projects were so good that later in the day, when I made it to the NY Tech Meetup, I felt like it was the continuation of the same show
