socialmap

web application

socialmap is a web application for smartphones. This project was part of my bachelor thesis. It detects the location of the smartphone using the HTML5 geolocation API. Once it is located, the application displays nearby data from webservices and social media, such as tweets, flickr images, wikipedia entries and concert suggestions from last.fm. It also displays nearby restaurants and the schedule of public transport stops. The application is able to automatically put together sightseeing tours for the current city, based on tags, ratings and popularity of places. The English version is coming soon...

bendable interface

interactive object

Flexible displays for mobile devices will soon be available. Combined with bending sensors, this technology offers interesting new ways of interacting with content on the screen. To find about more about the possibilities of this technology, I built a prototype of a bendable device and wrote a few demo applications for it. For the prototype I replaced the flexible display with a projector. Built with Processing and Arduino.

attention

interactive installation

attention is an interactive installation. There's a webcam mounted to wall and a very tiny text projected beneath it. The font size is so small that the text is not readable from a distance. The closer a person gets to the wall to read the text, the more the text blurs, so that no one can actually read it. I did this project in the 3rd semester of my studies of communication design.
