| Two years ago, MIT initiated "Project Oxygen" - the project that aimed to make computing ubiquitous and invisible. A peak into some of their almost-completed projects - Cricket, a location-aware computing system; the Intelligent Room, an high-tech office that doubles as a vision-interface research lab; and the Raw microprocessor, a low-power, ultra-programmable chip designed to power the handheld devices of the 21st century. | ||||

| Using microprocessors and sensors to make ordinary objects both intelligent and interactive, silent commerce opens up business opportunities and the possibility of new business models. | ||||
| HAMR Time | ||||
| HAMR, or Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording, has the potential to raise the storage density in hard disks from the existing 20 gigabits per square inch, to about 1,000 gigabits (or 1 terabit) per square inch. This has also convinced the National Institute of Standards and Technology to award a five-year, $10 million grant to the National Storage Industry consortium for HAMR research (for a project cost estimated at $21.6 million). | ||||
