There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Researchers in the MIT Media Lab and Georgia Institute of Technology have found that Google Glass can correctly detect your pulse and respiration rhythms in real time. The responses were measured using the built-in gyroscope, accelerometer and camera in Google Glass -- no external sensors needed. The real-time physiological feedback could show you what calms you down, makes you afraid, or stresses you out as you go about daily life. Jim Rehg, professor in the School of Interactive Computing, is the faculty lead at Georgia Tech working on the project.
