Someone remote sends a picture from their daily life, the picture appears pixelated in a frame, needs to be touched to reveal itself fully.
The bridge is augmented with colored lighting and running lights, controlled by environmental data such as time of day, season, and traffic volume to express the pulse of the city.
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.
While in the changing room, familiar sentences constructed by social normativity appear, so the one changing finds themselves confronted with the emotions connected to the norms. The concept includes an engaging platform accessed via QR code right outside of the changing room, inviting you to change the experience for the next one going in there, being part of the movement and empowering who comes after.
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.
A designated wall in your home where you display your personal belongings and memories is also a place for a window into your distant family’s living space. As you approach the wall and start interacting with the person on the other side, the projection view expands and takes up the whole wall.
A camera monitors a section of a greenhouse and feeds the images to a system capable of determining if the plants are healthy or not. Currently there are for example sensors to automatically tell if the plants are too dry but this takes in the whole plants' appearance, including diseased leaves etc. If a section is deemed to have unhealthy plants, the light changes in that area to make the caretakers aware of the problem without having to go look at a terminal or getting intrusive alerts.
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.
When you approach your fridge it becomes transparent, letting you peek inside without opening the door. Additional information about the products is displayed making you aware of what has been automatically ordered, expiration dates, or food that has been “reserved” for Sunday dinner.
The use of smells and temperature changes in a space or objects, can greatly enhance the atmosphere of the space and thereby the experience of the people in it.
Signage information is projected on walls and other architectural surfaces in ways that blend as deeply as possible with the physical surface materials.
The use of the light balloons helps to redraw and help us imagine history for those of us who were never able to see it. These light balloons in a way help create a design space through the whole city that can experienced different ways from different places. For instance the experience and scale of the space would be thought of differently from a viewer from an airplane window and also someone walking through the streets.
Using responsive thermo-bimetals that "breathe" to heat or cool a building, Doris Sung is making architecture more lifelike and environmentally friendly.
Information that changes over time and that is peripheral most of the time is aggregated into the color of a desk lamp that sits in the periphery.
By integrating displays thoughtful into cities and matching their purpose with exactly the needed solutions, they become ambient. Not using (moving) screens supports the ambient character.
Energy consumption of objects, that can be perceived in an 'ambient display' through light representing and making visible the actual flow of electricity.
Overlaying a suitably abstracted rendering of people's traces gives a sense of where the action is. Data from your friends yields a socially grounded heat map, whereas a broad data collection provides more of a general overview.
