I just recently found this and decided to post it. I found this to be a really cool interactive installment. Musical instruments that we all know appear on the wall and people get to interactively play them with each other. I thought this would be really fun to experience with other people. This installment allows…

iBar
The surface is an interactive, 10 meter long bar. Every glass, cup, cellphone, car key, business card or even fingers are recognized. I don’t think that this product has any real functional purpose. It is just made to look good and it does. It adds alot of character to a very simple surface. Irene Diaz…
Virtual Dog
This is a funny thing to think about projecting. The dog seems to actually be on the couch which i think make this particularly successful. I think the part where the dog jumps from one couch to the other is the big selling point. Very realistic. Irene Diaz de Leon
Music Wall
An interesting take on the interactive wall. It allows the audience to not only interact with the art but to also create music while doing it. Irene Diaz de Leon
Interactive Floor- Water Effect
I’ve seen things like this before even in malls. I don’t even know what they’re for I just see kids playing on them. But I don’t believe that I’ve ever seen one with water effects; at least not as good as these. They did an excellent job in capturing the complex characteristics of water. Irene…
Bristle Bot- How to
A very simple but creative robot that just about anyone can make; It would be fun to see where people can take this idea and what other things they can make it do. Irene Diaz de Leon
Interactive LED Coffee Table
This is a really beautiful piece of furniture; very convenient when walking across a dark room at night to ensure you don’t bump into it. I find it most interesting that under bright lights the movement it rippled throughout the table. Irene Diaz de Leon
Laser Graffiti
I think this is a great alternative to graffiti that uses spray paint and the act of vandalizing buildings. It allows the artist to express him/herself without hurting anyone. It also allows for a much larger piece of art to be easily placed on big buildings. Another interesting thing to look up as an alternative…
Finding Balance: Addressing Cognitive Dissonances
The title link will take you to a great lecture on creating meaningful interfaces for interactive environments/projects. The speakers have a strong focus on community involvement and fun/playful interaction. Stanford has a nice library of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) lectures available for free and they’re all very useful.
Camille Utterback
I saw this large scale installation and I thought it was amazing how well portrayed it was. From a distance, it looked like it had 3D qualities to it, like it belonged on a video game. The sensors detect people walking around the square, and displays it on multiple LCD projectors onto the building. The…
Nam June Paik
The video displays one of Nam June Paik’s installation pieces. The piece is a a wall of television monitors that together form a moving image. Using bright neon colors, Paik forms a visually pleasing series of images that makes the viewer pause and stare. The images at first flash causing confusion and causing the viewer…
light installation art
I thought this piece was pretty cool. I like the way the lights move throughout the piece in an organized way. It definitely caught my eye when looking at the different installation art that is out there on the web.
