Check out the DCI Sessions at SXSW Interactive 2007! DCI News Thursday, March 23, 2006 Play Music By Driving on a Virtual Road "Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have designed an interface for non-musicians to play music. This interface, part of the Expression Synthesis Project (ESP), is based on the fact that more people know how to drive a car than an orchestra. In 'Baby, you can drive my song,' the researchers explain how they converted real musical scores into digital virtual roads.

Such a system should be demonstrated in a public exhibit by 2008 and become available to everyone in the same time frame." [Full story at Roland Piquepaille's Technology Trends]
The Digital Convergence Initiative of the Texas Technology Corridor – An opportunity to be a leader in establishing Central Texas as the world center of innovation for Digital Convergence. As more intelligent, smaller digital machines are developed, as digital circuits evolve, and as digital communications becomes ever-more pervasive, they will continue to converge with computers, televisions, security systems, electric appliances, and many other devices, to provide new and useful functions for both the home and work environments. This is Digital Convergence, and is the tip of the iceberg - the symbiotic coalescence of technologies, markets, and functions forming the foundation for present and future innovation and growth.
