Erste Ergebnisse einer Kooperation von Design und Informatik an der HAW Prof.Franziska Hübler (Design), Prof.Dr.Birgit Wendholt (Informatik) Seit 2008 hat sich an der HAW eine Kooperation zwischen dem Department Design und Informatik etabliert. Die Zusammenarbeit entstand mit dem Ziel eine Plattform für den Austausch zwischen Gestaltern und Technikern zu schaffen. Aus Sicht der Informatik werden dabei die Themen Ambient Technologies, Smart Computing und neue Formen der Interaction erforscht. Die Gestaltung setzt die inhaltlichen Schwerpunkte auf Electronic Soft Sculptures, Immersive Environments, Intelligente Objekte und Elektronische Körperskulpturen. Im Vortrag werden die Ergebnisse und das Vorgehen mehrerer Projekte anhand ausgewählter Beispiele vorgestellt.

Ambient Awareness

The participative installation, Ambient Awareness, is a co-operative project between artists and computer scientists from the University of Hamburg Applied Science. The goal of this collective project is a merging of an artistic and technical vision to achieve a new level of questioning and solutions in regards to ambient communication. Communication is delivered through a tactile organism that immerses the viewer with all of their five senses. Ambient technology such as sensors are embedded throughout the installation and its environment. The sensors utilize body movement and sound, along with gestures, as input and are then emphasized and abstracted as output in the form of physical movement, light, film, and sound.

The collective organism is an environment that is made in human scale with physical extensions mounted on its outer body that actively communicate with the viewer. As a whole, the organism consists of a diverse number of smaller sections that were developed in multi-disciplinary groups.

Personality Detector
The viewer is confronted with a combination of smell and taste that in turn create a dialogue with the organism.
