This is an interactive installation composed of a bubble blower, a projector, wind sensors. It invites users to come near and blow into the blower to create bubbles just as we always do in our daily experience. Instead of creating real bubbles, the installation projects virtual soap bubbles on the wall, which rises with lightness and fragility in the air, leaving us in the expectation of its future explosion. Since it is projected shadows, it allows much more imaginations and wonders, which are turned out to be some animations when the bubbles are exploded.
Project #2 MoleBot
BY Design Media Laboratory (2012)
It is a mole robot built under a transformable surface that allows people to enjoy playful interactions with everyday objects and props, and experience what it feels like to have a mole live under your table. It can undergo many tasks, like pick fruits, lead objects... users are able to interact with it via gestures.
I dig this project. This is one that came to mind when Austin? and Andre? were proposing a physical pixel project. This one is slightly different in the way actuation is achieved.
ReplyDeleteYay... the other day I printed several hollow semi-spheres and inserted into a magnet for each. It turned out a very inspired construction.
