Experience sound multi-sensorially with Ocho Tonos
Some of you may have noticed that words like rhythm, texture, pattern, can be used both to describe fabrics, as well as sound. Focused on building an interface as a whole, using mostly textiles, OCHO TONOS invites the user to interact through touch, and experience sound in a multi-sensorial way. Ocho Tonos is an interactive installation by EJTech […]

Control a robot by hand gestures with Arduino UNO and Xbee
Robin Andersson shared with us the link to his Instructable to create a robot controlled by (gloved) hand gestures and running on a couple of Arduino Unos and Xbee. You can make it yourself following the 8 steps of the tutorial and then customize the gestures as you like. Enjoy the video below:
Experimenting new interfaces for Radios with wood and fabric
An Interaction and Industrial Designer studying at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh tried to re-imagine the way we interact with radios to create a more meaningful relationship between the user and the artefact. Radios have been around since the 1920s but the devices we have at home haven’t changed much even if they were designed […]
Wood Lizzie is a DIY Soap Box Cart controlled via Wi-Fi
In the following 10-minute video, the Currah team is showing us all the details of Wood Lizzie, a project experimenting with Arduino Mega and Wi-Fi Shield, a very flexible steering system and the virtually unlimited control range afforded by WiFi and Internet Protocol: The original plan was to construct one of the two-wheeled robots very popular […]
GPS lamps and the (in)visible landscape of the networked city
Satellite Lamps is a project investigating one of the most important contemporary infrastructures, the Global Positioning System or GPS. It’s a project curated by Einar Sneve Martinussen, Jørn Knutsen and Timo Arnall as part of the Yourban research project at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design and continues their previous work on revealing the materials of technologies that started […]
