Multi Touch Light Table : Gerg Werk

Hello again! It’s been a while since my last post, so I thought I should make this one worthwhile. I’ve stumbled across what might possibly be the most innovative and left field “improvement” made to the user interface and interaction design of the traditional 1′s and 2′s (DJ decks). Not very popular with the purists and professional DJs out there, however, although this may never take off it is nonetheless an amazing student project both brilliantly conceptualised and executed. Awesome.

Siftables – Interactive Toy Blocks

Interactive Toy Blocks that think and interact with one another. David Merril is an MIT grad student working at Taco Lab. The Video from TED shows what toys in the future can do.

Mobile Mobile – An Interactive Sculpture

Mobile Mobile, a massive sculpture made of re-cycled mobile phones that plays Choir of the Bells when you tweet it. Mobile Mobile is a joyous seasonal story of “upcycling” using old phones and collaboration.

Great to see old mobile phones being brought back to life and not being dumped in landfills across the country. Beautiful work from the guys over at LBi.

Experiencing Abstract Information by Jochen Winker and Stefan Kuzaj

A beautiful interactive installation by Jochen Winker and Stefan Kuzaj, using Processing and VVVV. The installation displays real-time graphics to create a graphical visualisation of how much water pollution a country is responsible for. I personally love the way they used a water basin to emphasize their point further.
