This project explores the use of physical fixtures and objects to display temporal information within an architectural space in a subtle and aesthetically pleasing way. Ambient Fixtures present and communicate information through their changes in

To explore the use of motion of physical objects to convey information and emotion, we have designed a series of Expressive Kinetic Objects. The Dyna-Lux is a kind of Expressive Kinetic Objects. The Dyna-Lux is a table lamp augmented with a

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

a Multi-user Computer Game for Girls --- In cooperation with Mathias Fuchs, Edeltraud-Hanappi-Egger, Gerhard Hanappi --- This Game is about careers, lifestyle, dreams and realities of young women. FemCity is a simulation of a complex social and

The mediaBlocks project is a tangible user interface based upon small, electronically tagged wooden blocks. The blocks serve as physical icons ("phicons") for the containment, transport, and manipulation of online media. mediaBlocks interface with

This project explores the creation and use of a physical/digital construction kit. Triangles is a physical computer interface in the form of a construction kit of identical, flat, plastic triangles. The triangles connect together both physically and

inTouch is a project to explore new forms of interpersonal communication through touch. Force-feedback technology is employed to create the illusion that people, separated by distance, are interacting with a shared physical object. The "shared"

PSyBench is a general platform for creating distributed Tangible Interfaces for collaborative design. Objects on an augmented tabletop are physically synchronized with identical objects on a remote table, allowing distant users to cooperatively

In an information-oriented society, the encoding of individual information occurs immediately, almost as fast as the satisfaction of a desire. Our consumption habits, our criminal history, our chronic diseases, even our photographs taken by a

Inside sixteen flowerpots placed in a dark room, motors run to rotate transparent disks. A viewer peeking into a flowerpot will find an animation of the images printed on the transparent disk, illuminated by the switching of small white LED, and
