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.
Make walking directions easier. The user points their phone’s cameras at their surroundings and machine learning will identify the landmarks based on Street View imagery to pinpoint their location. It can then more accurately identify position and orientation, giving directions over the real world.
Artists created digital artwork that could only be viewed in a specific Jackson Pollock gallery in MOMA, New York. Visitors who downloaded the MoMar-app could point their phones at paintings and would see them overlaid with digital artwork as a form of protest against elitist art culture.
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.
You connect with the person that you are going to meet up with. By approving to share your physical connection and through projections on the floor you will be guided to your destination of choice.
Passage leading towards Stadsmuseum Norrkoping has large displays of old factory pictures. If the reality is enhanced by cranking sounds of factory tools, digital graphics as short movie clips activated on interaction within close proximity, projected pattern appears and form illuminated floral scroll. Factory chimney blows puff of smoke cloud as visitor interacts within the zone.
A 250 m long, 30 m wide screen is placed at the center of the shopping mall. It serves several purposes at the same time; architectural concept binding the space together with entertainment, information, and illumination elements.
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.
"SkyView brings stargazing to everyone. Simply point your iPhone, iPad, or iPod at the sky to identify stars, constellations, planets, satellites, and more!"
This idea intends to use projections to communicate information about sustainability topics at intended places. The images below show one idea on how to communicate a message of 'water is precious, don't keep it running', on the basin where sticker is not suitable at all.
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.
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.
