Once in a while it is nice to not work on a commercial project and have the freedom of doing whatever you want. Fortunately the people at Büro Hirzberger hirzbergerevents.com were totally open to whatever we presented them to decorate parts of their office space in Vienna.

My fellow co-workers at Strukt Design Studio strukt.com came up with this digital wallpaper, using 2 projectors to map an entire wall and using VVVV to do the deskewing and to generate the content.

Many thanks go to the great guys at Concept Solutions derigel.at to provide us the equipment for the test set-up.

The new and modern add-on to the Schlossmuseum Linz, Upper Austria, is home to a permanent installation of our Struktable. The 70″ multitouch-capable back-projection screen features interactive multi-user games educating the visitors about solar-power, railways, raodways, water and tourism in Upper Austria.

The first game Strukt produced is called “Solar Land”. The visitors can place solar panels on a map of Upper Austria, guessing where they would be most efficient according to the altitude of the sun in the area. After all items are placed, the participants can start a simulation of the insolation over the duration of an entire year. The game shows how much energy is produced during that period of time, and the top simulations are listed in a high-score. The results encourage people to discuss their decissions and to play the game once more, using the knowledge they gained to reach a better score.
