Digital Powertools – Bachelor Graduation Project
Digital powertool is an interactive tangible tool, designed to allow for easy file browsing on an interactive tabletop computer (or surface computer). The device allows people to experience the content of their harddrive through tangible feedback, instead of relying on visual cues, as well as enhance the actual experience of browsing through folders by using a more natural way of browsing.
This project was done as my Individual Bachelor Project, or final bachelor project, the graduation project of the Bachelor part of Industrial Design at the TU/e.
tIsh – Internship
tISH is a circular interactive Multi-Touch Object Recognition table, which we designed, as well as an application running on the table, a VJ’ing tool making use of both Multi-Touch file manipulation and Tangible artifacts as tools for interacting.
tISH was the result of my internship at the Designing Quality in Interaction group (DQI) at the faculty of Industrial Design, of the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven.
Feel me dare – Lowlands Festival
Touch me dare is an interactive installation which consists of a large canvas screen, on both sides of which people can touch the fabric. When a place on the screen is touched from both sides, music is evoked. Contact area and movement is rewarded with richer music. This installation was meant to illicit meetings between unfamiliar people, by taking away the visual first impression and creating a shared topic of interest.
Touch me dare started as a ID project in my second year, but after a successful project, the client (Mojo) was interested in having the installation at the Lowlands festival. This resulted in an extracurricular extension. We managed to put the installation on the festival.
