NOTE: Presentations will be in German! <<<<
Stephan Gschwendtner from sense media will give an overview
of the basic structure common to all interactive (media) installations,
regardless of their complexity. He will demonstrate ways to
develop installations that do not require a technical background.
Additionally, he will give an overview of the current state
of the technology and a peek into future possibilities.
After
the introductory presentations all Upgraders are invited to
try
out the "test stations" themselves!
Presentations:
- Basic structure of interactive media installations
- Software: MAX/MSP, Macromedia Director and Flash, Processing
etc.
- Sensors: What can be measured and how?
- Interfaces: How does sensor data get into the computer?
- Prices, where to buy, suggestions for simple solutions
- Peek into the future
"Test stations:":
- Camera as input device
- Infrared sensors: The Interactive Book
- Remote Sensing: Transmission of sensor data via network
- Microphone as input device (Christoph Reiserer)
- Controlling 3D graphics (Herbert Stocker+Tamiko Thiel)
- Sins of our youth: How we started working with sensors
as non-techies
(Heike Siegert+Markus Arning)
