REAP, the Research Entrepreneurship Acceleration Program, is a unique extracurricular program offered by the University of Waterloo. It pays students, on a part time basis, to think creatively about how to use new and existing digital display technologies to create interactive experiences for users. Its new facility, Felt Lab, located in the St. Jacobs offices of partner Quarry Integrated Communications, is full of the latest equipment, such as Christie Digital MicroTiles, which allow video displays to be stacked and rearranged like Lego, and Apptui, which allows smartphones to become, essentially, remote controls for digital displays. Meet David Goodwin, REAP's founder, and some REAP students, and see the technology they play with in action.
