    NOVA is a 3D led screen, developed by ETH Zurich. It  has many possible application fields, and is used for academic research in the area of human computer interaction for the development of 2D and 3D interfaces involving visual and haptic inputs and outputs.

    Most Augmented Reality examples have a high gadget level,  showing off new technology with no added value. With his Augmented Reality Modelling Tool Melka however approaches AR in a completely new way. The innovative use of AR in this prototype certainly shows one possible road to further explore!

    In  his  essay “The Poetics of Augmented Space” (2002, revised edition 2005), Lev Manovich places Augmented Reality in the context of similar trends in New Media: Augmented Reality being one possible form of Augmented Space, characterised by overlaying dynamic data over physical space. For me, the most important statement he makes in his paper is…

    Reading again about the Arduino Lilypad a few days ago, I started imagining what you could do with this miniature Physical Computing platform. Leah Buechley – developer  of the LilyPad – describes the LilyPad Arduino as “a set of sewable electronic components that let you build your own soft, interactive fashion.” You could consider it…

    Lev Manovich publishes his latest book “Software Takes Command” on-line – I’m discussing the November 20, 2008 version – and he is open to suggestions for cover art, or illustrations. Nice idea, on-line pre-publishing, and it will not keep me from bying a print copy when the final version will be available. 😉 With this…

    I was introduced to Lewis Caroll’s “The Hunting of the Snark” years ago. It has since remained one of my favorite metaphors  to describe what research is, could or should be. An improbable crew sets forth on an impossible voyage  to find an inconceivable creature, using a blank sheet of paper as a map. (Partly…
