Scenarios is an audiovisual installation created by Onionlab for Yota Devices. Bordering on abstraction, Scenarios shows some of the utilities of Yota Devices’ new phone, characterised by its dual screen. The rear screen, made of liquid crystal, can store important information such as a boarding card or map almost permanently.
This piece was presented at Barcelona’s 2013 Mobile World Congress at the exhibition stand designed by External Reference.

Recent research in 3D user interfaces pushes towards immersive graphics and actuated shape displays. Our work explores the hybrid of these directions, and we introduce sublimation and deposition, as metaphors for the transitions between physical and virtual states. We discuss how digital models, handles and controls can be interacted with as virtual 3D graphics or dynamic physical shapes, and how user interfaces can rapidly and fluidly switch between those representations. To explore this space, we developed two systems that integrate actuated shape displays and augmented reality (AR) for co-located physical shapes and 3D graphics. Our spatial optical see-through display provides a single user with head-tracked stereoscopic augmentation, whereas our handheld devices enable multi-user interaction through video see-through AR.

Sikka is a sculptural video installation constructed from 360 used DVDs. This multi-thematic piece was inspired by “sikka”, the gold coins sewn to clothing dating back to Babylonic times that eventually became the shiny plastic objects we know today as sequins. By projecting the contents of the DVDs back onto their surfaces the artist continues to investigate both new uses for discarded objects as well as his interest in combining the phantasmagorical properties of cinema with its physical elements. In this case, film segments were selected from each of the DVDs for their color, shape and movement value, forming a digital palette from which the final projected loops were constructed. The accompanying self-generated soundtrack is the resulting “accidental composition” created by layering the soundtracks from the actual segments being projected. The final effect is that of an audio-visual mosaic.
Historically, sikka were worn to remind onlookers of the wealth and power of those wearing them while also evoking the light of the divine. Similarly, the surfaces of the DVDs flash back at us images born from the glamorous world of Hollywood where image is converted to a kind of currency.

Description:
N-3D Move is a robotic display.

The imaging system sends out DMX signals containing position/angle
information (using Quartz Composer). This information is then used to
create screen movements in order to project the images.

Based on these DMX signals, the images rotate, and move sideways or up and down.

Also, the images are projected using reflections from a half mirror,
making it possible to project them separately.

Depending on the combinations available, it is possible to have
multiple variations.

The filmed images also changes interactively in response to the sound
picked up from the microphone and the 3D camera(using ASUS Xtion PRO
LIVE).

N-3D Moveはロボティックディスプレイです。

映像システム側で位置/角度情報のDMX信号を送り（Quartz Composerを使用）、その送った位置情報に合わせてスクリーンが移動して映像が投影されます。

DMX信号により、上下左右に移動したり、回転したりします。

また、ハーフミラーの反射によって映像が投影される為、
それぞれ別々の映像の投影が可能です。

組み合わせ次第では多数のバリエーションが可能です。

また、 マイクの音と3Dカメラに反応して、映像がインタラクティブに変化もします。
