Theme: Interactive City. Venue: San Jose State University

Fête Mobile is an autonomous robotic blimp equipped with a camera and wireless capabilities that can sense the landscape from above, display text messages on an LED panel mounted on blimp, and interact with the people below. Participants use their laptop computers to connect to the blimp’s “sneaker network” to control its flight and optics. An onboard wireless local-file server allows the public to exchange media files.
