Objects, Environments, People, Stories: Building the blurring line between the physical and the virtual

Monday, 05/11/2009, 6:00–8:00pm
For the past 2 years the Rockwell Group LAB has been building a number of projects that explore and promote understanding of the relationship between human interaction with technology, and its effect on experience. Looking back at these projects they will discuss how their technology, methodology of prototyping and leaning through making drives their design decisions and where they see new opportunities for experiences and experimentation. Their toolkit includes working with custom hardware and software for RFID, UPC scanning, video processing, sonar, capacitance, shape memory alloy, led and lighting technologies, wireless communications, and screen based dynamically composited animation. They embed these technologies in objects and environments to sense and react to people.
