The Infinity Technology Kit is a multimedia
hardware and software system for converting standard PCs into
easy to use modern engineering design environments with a wide
array of sophisticated capabilities. These capabilities bring
to life the engineering concepts taught in the Infinity Project's
engineering curriculum. The pre-designed lab experiments that
come with the software allow students to see first hand the full
range of engineering experiences of envisioning, designing, and
testing modern technology.
The technology used in the Infinity Technology Kit is based upon
Texas Instruments' advanced Digital Signal Processor (DSP) chips
and a new and innovative graphical programming environment, called
Visual Application Builder, designed and developed by one of the
INFINITY Project's partners, Hyperception.
How to Order: If you are a high school and want to order
our high school kit, please download this
PDF form.
If you are a university, use this PDF form
to order the university kit.
Capabilities: A PC with the
Infinity Technology Kit is capable of an extremely wide array
of "real-time" engineering applications ranging from
sophisticated audio, image, and video processing, to a wide array
of advanced graphical mathematical operations incorporating real
data sets. This system has been designed to acquire data in real
time from both microphones and video cameras and simultaneously
execute advanced mathematical operations at a rate of 30 million
mathematical operations per second. This power allows students
to create and test for example new Internet technologies, or develop
and evaluate new wireless communication systems.
Components:
- DSP Board: Texas Instruments DSP hardware board with TMS320C31
Digital Signal Processor (DSK board)
