Experiencing Abstract Information
1 year ago
How can you increase the immersion of data? The bachelor thesis „Experiencing Abstract Information“ by Jochen Winker (jochenwinker.de) and Stefan Kuzaj (stefan-kuzaj.de) introduces theoretical principles and shows them with some interactive examples.
There are four essential parts in making abstract information experiencable: information itself, relevant senses, fitting emotion and a direct reference of the presentation to the information. With our method you can not only design fitting media, but also check existing media for its potential.
To demonstrate the systematics, we built three interactive installations. By using them you become an interactive diagram in a virtual mirror, cause virtual water-pollution in a water-basin or compare the time you have to work in different countries to buy a big mac or some bread. All of these installations show a different approach of immersive data transfer.

Makes a really cool effect.
The water basin installation is absolutely gorgeous...
Thanks for all the positive feedback so far. We're updating the video right now (some color corrections and cuts) and will be publishing a website for it soon. There you will find all stuff for your blog post, if you want to write about our project. Thank you :)
I just discovered that this is invalid somehow... which is a bit sad. Could you fix that?
Keep up the good work :)
