SuperSight: spatial computing and the evolution of eyes
Soon most of us will choose to augment our vision with new layers of projected information delivered via glasses or projected light. Our daily experience will become truly weird as game studios and brands promote apps to hack the visual world. This new blended vision, what I call SuperSight will forever change how we shop, learn, play, interact socially, and more. This lively talk will preview the SuperSight revolution and consider its many implications. Come and experience a speculative romp into the evolution of how we see.

Annual Segal Iron Pour
Segal Design Institute
7:30 PM
//
Evanston Township High School
Details
The Segal Iron Pour is an annual event that introduces students to a centuries-old manufacturing process. During the Iron Pour, students pour molten iron from a 2,700-degree furnace into 3D-printed and sand-casted molds.
The event is held as a culmination of DSGN 395-64: Leonardo, Geometry, and the Art of Manufacturing, a course taught by Segal faculty members Matthew Cummins and David Gatchell.
Join us for the 6th annual Segal Iron Pour, a one-of-a-kind experience that aims to stimulate curiosity in sand casting, forging, and other types of manufacturing. The Iron Pour features Segal students, faculty, and staff who will demonstrate the forging process by pouring hundreds of pounds of molten iron into creatively designed molds. The Segal Iron Pour is open to the McCormick community, including students, faculty, and staff.
