Float4 collaborated in a joint effort to push the limits of interactive technology and natural user interfaces. Leveraging on RealMotion’s clustering capability, two large scale interactive walls, using Christie MicroTiles, displayed multi megapixel resolutions in real-time, making these among the highest resolution interactive surfaces in the world.

Kinect as 3D scanner: Fabricate Yourself
A new project uses the Microsoft Kinect as a crude 3D scanner. Joris from i.materialise sez, “Fabricate Yourself is a tool by Karl Willis of Interactive Fabrication. Released at the Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction Conference, the tool lets people strike a pose in front of a Microsoft Kinect. If they like the pose they can 3D print the result.

BendDesk is a multi-touch desk environment that seamlessly combines a vertical and a horizontal surface with a curve into one large interactive workspace. This workspace can be used to display any digital content like documents, photos, or videos. Multi-touch technology allows the user to interact with the entire surface using direct manipulation and multi-touch gestures. For more info, visit: http://hci.rwth-aachen.de/BendDesk

Documentation of the first public exhibition of the Ocean of Light hardware, Surface, at the Kinetica Art Fair, London, February 2010. Surface uses minimal visuals and sound to evoke the essence of character and movement. Autonomous entities engage in a playful dance, negotiating the material properties of a fluid surface.
Ocean of Light uses a 3D grid of individually addressable LED lights to evoke presence and movement in a physical space that participants can walk through and view from any angle.
The Ocean of Light project is a collaborative research venture, led by Squidsoup.

Infractor is an interactive, artistic application that has been developed for a Multitouch-table. It is based on the information of the New York Times Online. The information can be searched, filtered and read by putting physical objects on the interactive surface.
Infractor has been developed and designed by a group of students of the Potsdam University of Applied Sciences.

“The New York Times interactive team has been creating path-breaking experiments in infographics and interaction design. All of which are now collected in its terrific new Innovation Portfolio.
The pieces called out on the site–each of which is represented by a bubble–range from infographics of public sentiment (”What on word describes your mood”) to ultra-polished interactive features, which elegantly summarize massive feature stories.”
