MARS—the Media Arts Research Studies at GMD (1995–2001) and at Fraunhofer (2001–2012) The MARS - Exploratory Media Lab, initiated and directed by Monika Fleischmann and Wolfgang Strauss since 1997, designed and developed research prototypes,

The Tangible Bits platforms make complex use of physical objects and surfaces monitored by a range of sensors, augmented by a variety of graphical and ambient displays, and linked by a diverse combination of networked computers.

mediaFlow is the first project to interlink the multiple Tangible Bits platforms. mediaFlow uses Triangles to route the flow information such as activity on the transBOARD, metaDESK, or online sources to destinations like Ambient Fixtures, the

FishFace is a gestural input device with proximal visual feedback. It detects motion using a "LazyFish" electric field module, and displays graphics on an array of LED's. The integration of the display and sensing creates the illusion that the

The I/O Bulb and the Luminous Room are the two central ideas in a project whose goal is the pervasive transformation of architectural space, so that every surface is rendered capable of displaying and collecting visual information. An I/O Bulb

Augmented Fish Reality is an in process interactive installation of rolling robotic fish-bowl sculptures designed to explore interspecies and transpecies communication. These could best be termed as “biocybernetic” sculptures that allow Siamese
