What students get up to these days:

The Too Fast For Tracks™ project is being developed by Christopher Hall at New York University's Interactive Telecommunications Program in order to explore a rapid prototyping approach to toys. The Too Fast For Tracks™ system allows children to quickly set up and make alterations to a vehicles path though a system of infrared beacons. By placing beacons around their play space children set the rules that guide the vehicle. The open-ended structure of the system is designed to encourage spatial exploration and social interaction.
