"Using a Teagueduino and a few inputs and outputs, we put together a physical side-scrolling video game. To control it, there's a knob on the side. As time advances the game gets faster and faster -- can you avoid all the obstacles and make it to the end?

Watch the second half of the video for an overview of how everything is hooked up."

CIID + Toyota = Window to the World

2011-06-29T11:01:00.001+01:00

"Imagine when a journey from A to B is no longer routine as your car in the near-future encourages a sense of play, exploration and learning. This is the image engineers and designers from Toyota Motor Europe (TME) and the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (CIID) had of Toyota’s “Window to the World” vehicle concept.

The concept re-defines the relationship between passengers in a vehicle and the world around it by transforming the vehicle’s windows into an interactive interface. Using augmented reality, what used to be a pane of glass, begins to provide passengers with information about landmarks and other objects as they go past. The window can also be used as a canvas for drawings, which then interacts with the passing environment."

Project wrapped up for Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum in Orlando FL.
A front projected interactive wall built in Openframeworks. Users interact with digital water by touching the wall and applying different magnets to the wall. When the magnets are oriented correctly and water is added, each reacts in their own way.
Users also use real world valve controls to increase or reduce the flow of water, which is done using an Arduino microcontroller.

"Sober Industries and Studio Rewind took the Tiger mapping project to another level. For the 'Rotterdamse Museumnacht2011' we build 2 large sculptures. Both sculptures were projected with mapped visuals. New in this project was the interactive part. The spectators were able to control the visuals projected by a custom made cubicle with motion sensors and buttons. By tilting the cubicle the color of the visuals changed and the buttons were used to skip through the visuals and to create other effects like blending and scratching. The sculptures are made entirely out of wood and can be disassembled to smaller pieces which are more easy to transport."

DJ Light Installation

2010-12-18T14:22:00.001Z

DJ Light is an immersive public sound and light installation that gives visitors the power to orchestrate an awe-inspiring performance of light and sound across a large public space. It was created for energy company Endesa as the cornerstone of their Christmas celebrations in Lima, Peru

The installation consists of 85 giant globes of light, each capable of displaying millions of colours. As the “guest DJ” assumes their position on the podium, they can use their arms to point and gesture. These movements are translated in real-time into beautiful movements of light and generative sound across the space.

Project Credits:

Concept design, realisation and implementation: Cinimod Studio (London, UK)

Software programming: Cinimod Studio with Henrik Ekeus (London, UK)

Local project management: Claudia Paz & Cesar Castro (Lima, Peru)

Foursquare Hack Unlocks Building’s Front Door - PSFK

2010-12-15T15:01:00.001Z

via psfk.com

Developers Erin Sparling and Nicholas Hall have imbued mobile-social network, Foursquare, with an additional layer of utility by rigging their building’s front door so that it opens when they check-in to their apartment’s address. The duo accomplished the workaround with the help of Foursquare’s local push notification service, Alpha 2.0 API, an industrial web-enabled relay device, some speaker wire and plenty of ingenuity. On New Year’s Eve the hack will be opened to everyone, enabling party goers easy, digital access to the celebration upstairs, likely turning the affair into a must have check-in for any aspiring mayor.

Changing The Face Of Retail: iPod As Mobile Point Of Sale - PSFK

2010-12-05T10:16:00.001Z

via psfk.com

The Old Navy chain of stores is testing a mobile retail software called “ZipCheck” in collaboration with Apple that will see the iPod as a handheld POS (Point of Sale). Store clerks would carry the iPod Touch which will be attached to a barcode reader and credit card scanner and can print receipts wirelessly to in-store printers or to belt-mounted mini-printers that the staff can wear. This allows any customer to avoid the billing queue by simply walking up to a store employee and have them process the transaction and check out.

Media surfaces: The Journey

2010-11-09T13:31:00.001Z

This is second of two video sketches illustrating some of the ideas and principles behind Dentsu London's communications strategy Making Future Magic bit.ly/makingfuturemagic_phil

In "The Journey" we look at the panoply of screens and media surfaces in a train station and the possibilities that open up from seeing them slight differently. There’s no real new technology at play in any of these ideas, just different connections and flows of information being made in the background – quietly, gradually changing how screens, bits of print ephemera such as train tickets, and objects in the world can inter-relate to make someone’s journey a bit less stressful, a bit more delightful.

You can see the first film "Incidental Media" here vimeo.com/16423199

This is part of a collaboration between Dentsu London and BERG. You can read more about both films at Dentsu London's blog bit.ly/mediasurfaces and on BERG's blog here bit.ly/incidentalmedia and here bit.ly/thejourney_ms
