Paysages Domestique

Impressive video by Romain Remigereau using the Firefly Kinect Skeleton Tracker to fabricate a custom designed flower vase.

"Quand la matière numérique devient modelable." C'est au sein de la sphère domestique que le dispositif ici présent prend place. L'installation propose une interaction innovante et intuitive qui, à travers son aspect ludique, agit comme une véritable passerelle entre un savoir-faire artisanale difficile à maîtriser, et des données virtuelles difficiles à assimiler. A travers la technologie kinect, notre corps devient support, nos gestes deviennent des courbes, et nos mains deviennent des outils qui serviront à travailler une matière numérique impalpable mais bien réelle. Le projet offre la possibilité à l'utilisateur de vivre une toute nouvelle expérience, celle d'imaginer, de créer, de façonner un objet selon ses propres envies; d'être pleinement acteur de son intérieur en concevant une gamme unique et personnelle de contenants ( vases, pots, corbeilles, etc...). Une fois satisfait de sa création, il passera commande à un fablab qui s'occupera de le réaliser et de lui envoyer. L'objet est imprimé en 3 dimensions; un procédé de fabrication qui contribue un peu plus à la magie du projet... * Projet de semestre réalisé par Romain Remigereau au sein de l'Ensci Les-Ateliers, dans le cadre d'un partenariat avec Microsoft.

Hanging Liminality

The final prototype titled Hanging Liminality by James Ye-Won Lee and Jonathan Fernandes, two masters students at the University of Sydney.  The installation uses 28 servo motors and an Arduino Mega.  In addition, they used a PS Eye webcam to control the servos so they react in response to video movement.

Adaptive Blinking Prototype

This is a really cool prototype built by Chiachi Yeh at the Bartlett AAD program.


Responsive Apertures

Mechanical prototype of a fifth year architecture project by LSU Freerider. The objective was to operate mechanical prototypes, in this case aperture iris diaphragms embedded in a wall, with sensory data, in this case a series of light sensors. The project combines Grasshopper and Firefly for Rhino along with the Arduino microcontroller to drive each hobby servo.  As each person passes his hand across the light sensors, the aperture closes before returning to its open state.
