Super Cilia Skin

Super Cilia Skin is a literal membrane separating a computer from its environment. Like our skin, it is haptic I/O membrane that can sense and simulate movement and wind flow. The intention is to have it be universally applied to sheath any surface. As a display, it can mimic another person's gesture over a distance via a form of tangible telepresence.

UPDATE: Ping Genius Loci

Update from January post
The pixels have different colors on each side, so by rotating they can create fields of color seamlessly morphing into each other. As they sense a set of things from the environment, they can map things like the way people walk, or spatial soundscapes.

The PingPongPixel

The whole installation exsists out of 2 units. The first is the display-unit, the other one is the storage cabinet, which sorts and dispenses the balls. Each image is built out of 2700 tennistable balls in 6 greytones! Depending on how fast the system can be fine tuned, a picture will be fully visible within 2.5 hours.

SoniColumn

SoniCoumn is an interactive sound installation that can be played by a person’s touch. The installation takes the form of a column-like cylinder. Grids of LEDs installed inside the column light themselves on by the users’ touch and emit unique sounds. When a user cranks the handle, the column slowly rotates itself and plays the light patterns of the user’s touch.
