A mobile app projects 3d signs of particular locations of interest - restaurants, bike rental spots, subway entrances, etc. onto the user's screen. The app also measures how far the user is from the particular sight. By downloading packs for different types of locations, the user can expand the amount of information the app relays to them.
A potential concept where a person can make different poses in front of a camera and the database matches that pose with a famous painting/portrait from the history. It creates an interactive experience for a visitor by letting them use their gestures to learn more about art and culture history. In the vast data available for us to grasp, this method makes it a bit easier to connect with and learn.
Playing pool is all about angles and trajectories. Getting them right is a challenge, especially when you are learning. This AR-enhanced pool table makes that easy for you! The concept involves a projector and a real time camera that create a real-time projection of the path of ball that the player is aiming to strike. This enables the player to learn better or just enjoy an evening of a successful game of pool!
Interact with your home without screens, instead with a context-aware projection lamp that works with different surfaces. The lamp enables you to interact more smoothly whilst conducting productive tasks as well as assisting you if there is the need. The application aims to provide you with more interactive and flexible workspace to higher focus and immersion.
Twelve large blocks of ice cast off from the Greenland ice sheet are harvested from a fjord outside Nuuk and presented in a clock formation in a prominent public place. The work raises awareness of climate change by providing a direct and tangible experience of the reality of melting arctic ice. Ice Watch has been installed in two locations so far.
Lifeprint is an instant photo printer that not only allows you to print live videos, but also share those printed videos using Lifeprint’s Augmented Reality Hyperphoto(TM) software app.
Pre-generated projection combined with live singing performance re-creating scenes from the original animation movie, resulting in a smooth visual “interaction” between the actress and the computer graphics on a theatre stage.
Context Visually impaired people navigating unfamiliar environments. Design concept Major objects and walls in the environment are sonified to facilitate navigation and manipulation. Objects announce themselves in voice as the user scans a scene; walls make sounds as they are approached. Wayfinding is provided by repeating “follow me” in the […]
By augmenting the missing limb visually and using "myoelectric sensors connected to the stump of the missing limb, the patient could control the virtual arm with brain impulses, exactly as the brain controls limbs in the real world."
Interact with your desk, more flexible work space. Proper focus on context (interaction details like snapping, overhead lamp) and not on what is possible with technology.
Interact with sound as a new medium. Visual projections match the wavelength of the sounds and take into account the physical environment. Interacting with the visual projections changes the sound.
Stories are embedded in a wall with interesting graphical images drawn on it. A cup shaped listening device is placed on graphic shapes to activate a unique story and light up the drawing with projection mapping. People can record own stories and leave at the wall.

Context switching is very costly from a cognitive point of view, however especially in open office settings, it is hard to know when someone is in the middle of something or if it's OK to ask them questions. Here is an indicator light, showing if someone can be disturbed or not. The light can show different colours indicating "busyness level". It can either be controlled manually or linked to applications on your computer.
