Magical Interaction Interactive Magic

[Author / finishing: Moonbright]

Design should allow sufficient room for imagination and interaction can inspire poetic, magical interaction (magical interaction) is my first major project and I explore the physical phenomena and materials for art and design obsession. I think the core of my personal favorite: the moment I found so much beautiful things full of unpredictable forces. So full of magic and describe the amazing experience is "like magic", and I found the history of magic is the magic of modern life, the mind suggests.

Wisdom lamp

Common way for people to use lights, but it is because the traditional light switch people experience little room for imagination, so I decided to re-design of this seemingly ordinary lamp switch, let it inspire people to give unlimited imagination.

For me, the first is to use technology to solve what I had hoped for interactive lighting design. Looking for a physical phenomenon to achieve human interaction with the lamp on. I used the Doppler effect, when the prototype is done, I ask my colleagues to use their own movements to control the light. The evaluation of my favorite one is my favorite: "I use both hands to control the light, when, as I was superman. ~

TV Lord of the Rings

Before, based on my research on the second product is the focus of MI, I would like to find out what the people can imagine how much of the action.
Used to guide the media is a LED lamp rings, they are able to action your finger is lit, when the user moves the sensor will be analyzed following a video interesting to tell you.

In the design of these rings in magic tricks from an old to connect to the interaction between the two. Way is to allow users to interact simultaneously with both hands movements, large movements to control the TV and the slightest movement is used to activate or turn off the ring.
Ring in the composition of three parts, are dual-function keys, LED lights and power set in from the button above the battery. This button is firmly fixed to live a good user control. (Role of the battery I would not have said)

I ask participants to control a TV with a ring in two ways: one is minor, while another is intense. Each participant was asked to try ten minutes of each action. Then choose the way you like.
At this time I invited a friend of the experimenter to participate in, and the first experimenter just bought a ring like his, like a friend you want to show off their own hands in the ring. :)

B & O remote control

My graduation project aims to explore the theory of intelligent interaction from experimental to commercial practice, the feasibility of the project's first step is to find the vision which fits with my employer and which customers will adopt the concept of unusual design, I found The employer is the Bang & Olufsen. (B & O brand world famous Danish industrial design)

B & O TV The kitchen had interest in the concept, I also have the concept of interactive television have had interest. This was inspired by the remote control we have a person sitting on the couch all night watching a channel of the mid-fifties. Remote control function has changed, but the interaction principle has not changed. At the same time the way people use the TV nowadays, but by the impact of rapid social change. Especially in complex environments such as changing kitchen: Here we look at television, we are also doing another ten other things.

In order to identify the problems and contradictions in the design of an opportunity, I have done the will of the people in the kitchen, how to use television to do research. I found that people were actually in the kitchen do not really like using the remote control to watch TV. They fear that it will be dirty, or lost at the same time when they go in person to tune the TV to do than pick up the remote control panel is much more to save trouble.

The initial plan is to abandon the people to be able to swing the remote control and shiny things any TV remote control, a built-in sensor into the TV, the TV people waving their arms through different ways to control. (This process is also a translator come to understand through the movie, and we have a child playing in the classroom, like a mirror reflecting the sun's principle, for details see the film). Although my attention was that good, but it lets people think this style is also not representative of B & O.

"If you can create a silver utensils are the same as remote how?" This is to produce in this update on the issues raised by the concept, so I made like the spoon spoon-like initial concept of the product.

I think my concept of the final product of both B & O's texture and there are interactive communications. B & O is a leading technology with amazing "magic touch", while I focus on this magic device (magical interaction) important factor.

The remote control is not in front of me talking about walking in the kitchen to use. You can not operate it in my hand but it on the table, now it has a basic remote control functions. The following paragraph is to specify it on when:

When you are engaged in activites and the TV is bothering you, you can either change the channel or the volume.Changing channels requires you to focus your attention on the TV, away from your activites, changing the volume doesn't. That's why the volume doesn't. That's why the volume doesn't. That's why the volume control is been made easier accessible than channel control.

In addition to further improvement of this product which is (for example: working prototype).

On

I move the results from the failure of interaction design for interactive design and previous experience on the other hand the usefulness of physical phenomena from the fascination. The name of this group of works named "Interactive Magic" and also as I Eidhoven University graduate industrial design work.

Work is the subject of the action into a normal life a little surprise. I realize this ambitious plan is to outline a new interpretation of each of us live around human behavior and the relationship between technological surprise.

This is a Danish design department teams of students Joris van Gelder and other graduation products, announced the first time from 2006 is that good design is about two years later to become the coolest and practical design, before entering the We are constantly reading our digital lives will be much better when someone in our lives happier and meaningful experience.

There are also a lot about this group of designs, including experimental Lego living space, Emergent BarLights (floating light), PUMP (interactive electronic music) and other designs. Interested friends can access Gelder's graduation website .
