Project 1: Pulse Room (2010)
Lozano-Hemmer is a master of communal interactive pieces. Many of his pieces, like this one, work best when many visitors interact with it. He develops scenarios that allow the viewers to contribute. When the viewer sees his/her pulse represented in a pulsing light, they can say "look, that's me." They can then compare their pulse with the pulse of others and observe how hundreds of pulses look interacting with each other. The whole piece relies on community and is a metaphor for community.
The technology:
pulse sensor
software
microcontroller
relays
incandescent lights
Project 2: exTouch
Follow the link above to see the video. This project allows users to control a robot by changing it's destination location on an ipad. I like the idea of creating a virtual destination for an object, and having the physical object move towards it. This project takes advantage of the ipad's mobility and video capability. It's an incredible exercise in interfacing physical/virtual worlds.
