Interactive Model of Lower Manhattan
Pentagram designed this interactive model of Lower Manhattan for Wall Street Rising's Downtown Information Center. Design: Lisa Strausfeld, Nina Boesch.
Augmented Architecture
Application of Augmented Reality in Architecture and Urban Space - Architecture thesis project in Ecole Spéciale d'Architecture Paris Oct 2005 by Quck Zhong Yi, with help from Alexandre Pachiaudi (Pico), Anny Galanou, Gaetan Kohler, Nicolas Trouillard, and Leila.
Muscle room- an interactive hotel room design
concept
The Muscle Room envisions a concept where the user can alter his surroundings to suit his every needs. When the room is entered it is completely empty. One big, open space. By interacting with the room the user can get a different layout or appearance. The walls can be shaped into furniture, doors, spaces to allow the guest a new sensation of freedom. Also the appearance, light, sound and climate can be influenced to create the perfect room.
On the client-side the concept also allows the hotel-operator to maximize the possibilities of a single space and to be able to exploit his hotel in dense areas.

PILEUS: Internet Umbrella by Takashi Matsumoto
Pileus is an interactive medium of an umbrella to make city-exploring fun. Pileus has a big screen on its inside surface, and a camera and embedded sensors on its grip. Then it provides natural embodied interaction with web services to make city walking more interactive.
The current prototype has two main functions: photo-sharing and 3D map navigation. The photo-sharing function is connected to Flickr, then a user can share their finding (e.g. new shops, beautiful scenes) in a city with his/her friends taking a picture by the camera. The screen also shows beautiful photo-streams retrieved from shared-pictures in a Flickr community. The photo-function is operated by a simple action on the umbrella with a motion sensor without any complicated operations.

The user also can switch the service to a map. Pileus automatically detects user's location and shows bird-eyes view of a map around to give a sense of the place in mixed reality. The map is automatically updated by user's position by GPS and a digital compass.
Interferences - an interactive installation
Interferences ... is an interactive installation created by Matteo Sisti Sette and Maribel Pozo which consists of a back projection screen showing an artificial life system which is sensitive to electromagnetic waves emitted by users mobile phones.
In its natural state, image and sound are in constant evolution, moving and growing as if alive. Their growth and evolution is altered in the presence of electromagnetic waves.
This work tries to draw attention to a phenomenon whose physical and material relevance we tend to ignore. Little is known about the effect these radiations produce on human body. Maybe they are not dangerous. Many elements of our environment are not, yet they concern us because of their aspect or noise or odour. If we couls [sic] see, or hear the amount of energy which is carried by electromagnetic waves and which passes through our body, would we behave the same way as we do?
The installation is created with Pure Data and Processing.

555 KUBIK
555 KUBIK | facade projection | from urbanscreen on Vimeo.
the use of sound in this architecture augmented by projection. Daniel Rossa worked with Urbanscreen to create the 555 kubik facade video projection at the kunsthalle in hamburg (germany). giant hands appear to manipulate the surface of the museum in a surreal sequence that is the result of rossa asking the question 『how it would be, if a house was dreaming?』.
Aperture facade installation
I really like this concept. First time I knew this concept was about 3 years ago. Our lab has the extremely similar idea with him, and made a prototype of it. MIT Design Lab also has the similar, which is called Dynamic Window. It is made with electrochromatic glass.
