AirSketcher: 風を使いやすくする手法の提案とその実装, 渡邊恵太,2011

http://www.persistent.org/airsketcher.html

現代の空調システムには，温度設定が部屋単位であることや人間の室温の感じ方の差など課題がある．本研究では，その解決手法としてインタラクションの観点から使いやすい風をつくりだすAirSketcherを提案する．AirSketcherは直接的で多様な風を容易につくりだすことができる扇風機（送風）システムである．扇風機にインタラクティブ性を持たせ，ユーザが意図通り風を操作可能になることで，空調に対する不満を解決できるのではないかと考えた．本研究では風を制御するインタラクション手法として風を操るかのようなメタファで風を制御するAirWand, 風を描くメタファを用いて風を制御するAirCanvas, 風を受け入れるか否かをカードによって指示するAirFlagをの3つを考案し試作した．

Susane Seitinger’s research

  • The researcher’s main page
  • LightBridge, May 2011
    • (in Video(youtube), around 4min, she describes the system and mentioned opensource SW to support media facade programming)
  • Liberated pixels :alternative narratives for lighting future cities, 2010
    • PhD Dissertation
    • Light Bodies
      • Susane Seitingerの博士での研究のプロジェクト３つのうちの一つが、ランタン（日本でいえば、夜間の外出時にもちあるいた手持ち提灯）の歴史をふまえた個人用の、センサーによって与えられた刺激に反応する光のオブジェクトでした。クラシックのコンサートやジャズバーで複数を置いて場所の演出に利用した例が論文で示されています。Seitingerの研究のポイントの一つが、既存のインフラから光を自由にするための技術なのですが、ガス灯という形で社会インフラになる前の、個人が小型のランタンを持ち、または玄関前に自分で設置し、管理していた光の集合しかなかった時代の光のありかた
  • Urban Pixels
    • Here (MIT Labcast)she explains basic concept of ‘Urban Pixels’ together with her adviser William Michael
  • Light Body
    • in Shigeru Kobayashi’s ‘Prototyping Lab’, pp20
      • we asked how we might engage people in more actively shaping the lightscapes which surround them.

Project Cabrini Green

Cabrini-Green’s last high-rise, 1230 N. Burling, is being demolished, starting on March 30, 2011. Project Cabrini Green is a public art installation created with the community in response to this event. Click on the apartments above to explore the audio/texts created by youth who attended the project workshops. Texts are available on both sides of the building.

‘Tvor’, Jindřich Vodička,2010

Tvor (the creature) is a lamp endowed with artificial intelligence. With the help of sensors, it moves towards the darkest place in the room. It seeks out darkness relentlessly and its illuminating presence transfers the darkness to another place. Tvor is thus doomed to endless travel.

Tvor Beta made its debut in June 2010 in the Gallery of the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague
