The RAD, an audio-based interface that can easily be integrated into existing video games, enables people who are visually impaired to play video games with the same speed and control as sighted players, with full 3D graphics and complex, challenging racetracks.
Columbia engineers are the first to miniaturize dual-frequency combs by putting two frequency comb generators on a single millimeter-sized silicon-based chip — work that could lead to low-cost, real-time portable sensing and spectroscopy in the field.
Engineering professors Karen Kasza and James Teherani have each won a prestigious, five-year award from the National Science Foundation, which supports the early career-development activities of junior faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education.
A new optical imaging system developed at Columbia University may be able to predict response to chemotherapy as early as two weeks after beginning treatment.
An interdisciplinary Columbia Engineering team is working to come up with a revolutionary lightweight glass that is able to dynamically monitor the wearer’s vision and display contextual images that are vision-corrected.
