Gear  |  Projects
The two-piece ring°wall consists of a LED display and a multitouch information-wall and impresses by its size: a total surface of 425 square meters, which equals more than 6000 computer displays, is the biggest of its kind. An interactive World emerges out of 34 million pixels generated by 15 high definition projectors and is supported by 30 directional speakers.
After more than one and a half years of development, the world biggest multitouch multi-user wall has now been launched at Nürburgring. The making-of ring°wall, here.

Happiness Hat by designer Lauren McCarthy. This Happiness Hat will force you smile,  an enclosed bend sensor attaches to the cheek and measures smile size, senses that you aren't smiling, it shoves a metal spike into your head until you do. Wow, I don't like this way!

The Body Machines(big pic) based on a poster by the artist Fritz Kahn from 1927.
"The image above, by the artist Fritz Kahn, shows the nervous system as a complex electronic signalling system, complete with buttons, charts and busy workers. Fritz Kahn's books and illustrations explored the inner machinery of the human body, using metaphors of modern industrial life. Kahn turned the brain into a complex factory with light projectors, conveyor belts, secretaries and cinema screens; he showed the journeys of blood cells as locomotives encircling the globe; and he compared bones to modern building materials such as reinforced concrete.

Video Painting

Gear  |  Projects
Sweatshoppe has developed a new interactive technology that allows them to essentially "paint" video onto any surface. The street artist uses a paint roller made with green LEDs. A camera next to the projector tracks the position of the paint roller, unmasking the video projection in real time, as the artists draws on the wall.

The ¡°Perpetual Storytelling Apparatus¡± is a drawing machine illustrating a never-ending story by the use of patent drawings.
It is drawing machine translates the story into drawing. By Julius von Bismarck and Benjamin Maus.
"The machine translates words of a text into patent drawings. Seven million patents ¡ª linked by over 22 million references ¡ª form the vocabulary. By using references to earlier patents, it is possible to find paths between arbitrary patents. They form a kind of subtext.
New visual connections and narrative layers emerge through the interweaving of the story with the depiction of technical developments. " Jump more watch the video

Human Antenna is a carpet radio that uses body as an antenna. And you can walk on the carpet to change the radio frequency(watch the video).
A carpet made of looms from conductive thread. By standing on it, your body acts as an antenna. The carpet picks up the radio waves, which your body receives and makes them hearable. When walking on the carpet you can tune it to a certain frequency, like the tuner of a radio.

PUSH N900 is a competion organised by Nokia to promote it¡¯s new N900 smartphone. Everyone is invited to come up with projects how you could hack or mod the N900 and its open-source Maemo operating system. You have to submit your idea by October 11th, a jury will then decide who will get a N900, funding and support to make them real. Hyper and Tinker it! were asked to develop some sample projects. Rethinking classic 80s products using the new Nokia N900. I love this project, Talk & Text.
A Nokia N900 and an Arduino are hidden inside this Speak & Spell. When you press a key, the Arduino detects which key you have pressed and sends that information over Bluetooth to the N900. So you can write and send a text message using a Speak & Spell.

Digital Wallpaper

Gear  |  Projects
The Digital Wallpaper by strukt studio.
"The basic idea was to light up the black and white striped office wall by mapping the architecture with multitple projectors. The program developed by Strukt is scripted in vvvv and is scaleable to any number of projectors and any architectural shape. Several different visualisations have been realised already, amongst it a Pac Man animation as well as moving stripes, and more are in development. The content could also be made interactive, reacting to people passing the ground-floor offices."

Infinite Hope by Quinn Gregory

Infinite Hope by Quinn Gregory, made from 250,000 Swarovski crystals.
"'Infinite Hope' is a sculpture I made primarily of wood, foam and crystals. Through research, I learned that Jesus was 5'3' tall (which made him actually a tall Jewish man at that time). I used cooper tubing to make his 5'3'' skeleton and then built from there. After sealing the sculpture, I utilized a metallic paint to give Jesus a metal look (thus avoiding the weight of a metal sculpture- while achieving the look I desired). The actual sculpting portion of this work took 4 1/2 months to complete. I then spent the past 10 months encrusting Jesus with almost 250,000 Swarovski crystals. "
