Published on Jun 18, 2012

This is a short documentary about the LEGO Turing Machine built by Jeroen van den Bos and Davy Landman at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), Amsterdam (Netherlands). They built it for CWI's exposition "Turings Erfenis" in honor of Alan Turings one hundredth birthday this year.

Alan Turing was a brilliant mathematician who helped define the theoretical model of the computer as we know it today. He was a visionary, one of the few people of his time who recognized the role the computer would play for humanity.

The Turing Machine (1936) is an adequate model of a computer. It can do anything the computers of today or tomorrow can do.

    Thanks!

    Voor de opnamen heb ik een grote rol wit fotopapier als achtergrond gebruikt. Een grote softbox zorgde voor de belangrijkste belichting.

    Voor enkele "making of" foto's en meer info zie de link in de beschrijving onder de video.

    It uses blocks from LEGO Technics and the electronic devices are from LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 kit. Google them, you can buy them everywhere.
