Скачать или смотреть US Ignite: Using Ultrafast networks to support educational activities involving children with autism

Oklahoma State University (Cecil's lab) and Wisconsin Madison (Parmesh Ramanathan's lab) have collaborated to demonstrate how ultrafast networks can be used to support learning among children with autism. In this demonstration, Joshua Dillin, a second grader at Sangre Elementary School in Stillwater, Madison interacts with a teacher at another location. They are both linked through a next generation Internet network which allows them to use haptic devices and learn through exploration and the sense of touch. This was based on the same approach used in an earlier demonstration between Wisconsin and Oklahoma State University which enable haptic colaboration between engineers in two different locations. This is a milestone achievement and was part of a series of demonstrations conducted as part of the US Ignite initiative involving OSU and Wisconsin Madison.
