Undergrad brings interactive digital stained glass to life
Imagine walking into a room only to be greeted by a window that recognizes your presence in the space.
One LSU College of Engineering undergraduate student is researching the best way to make that vision a reality.
Kathryn Williams, computer engineering senior and undergraduate researcher, is building what she calls interactive “digital stained glass windows” made of liquid-crystal display (LCD) glass and Raspberry Pi computers. When finished, the windows could react to a number of different things: voice command, human movement or even a Twitter hashtag.

LSU engineers highlight their communication skills at career expo
Outfitted in business attire, College of Engineering students fluttered from table to table in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center listening to industry representatives’ pitch about their engineering, science and technology businesses at the LSU Career Expo on Feb. 11.
“We’re here to insure the folks know who we are and how we can be a mutual benefit,” said Dave Reid, Cameron plant human relations specialist.
Reid, who is recruiting both interns and full-time employees, said he was particularly looking for students who offered more than just good grades.
“When we look at people, we look at the whole person, not just the GPA,” he said.
