Noblewire, LLC is a consumer electronics company that develops 802.15.4 wireless sensor network technologies and tools for product development and research in learning, the built environment and personal healthcare. The wireless sensor network platform includes state-of-the-art technologies that operate on a powerful small footprint firmware solution for mixed-reality ((virtual + physical components) applications. Wireless Sensor Networks have become an accessible development platform with advances in the merging of micro electro-mechanical technologies, wireless communication protocols, integrated circuit technologies, and pervasive and embedded systems. Applied applications for wireless sensor networks in the manufacturing and health industries continue to grow, leaving an opportunity to integrate these technologies into gaming and learning applications. Applications for this system align with human centered computing domains of computer supported collaborative play, learning and work (CSCP, CSCL, CSCW). This includes exploring complex systems in science art and humanities; and applications for disciplines that use prototypes for iterative design, such as architecture, design, and engineering, as long as the new shape systems of connectable units can be represented in a grid.
