summary
Design goes beyond screens: examples include custom PCBs and sensors used with cloud analytics to cut industrial water use (Microsoft + EcoLab) and Nest learns home patterns to save energy. A Virginia Tech car gives tactile navigation to blind users via air-pulse road maps; surgeons rehearse on a 3‑month‑old using Google Cardboard for a baby heart surgery. Beware brittle AI: Tay went racist in hours and a Roomba incident shows real-world risk. MIT’s Inform shape display renders 3D tangible data for physical interactions.
