Elias is an Augmented Reality installation offering us a tantalizing glimpse of how we might interact with printed documents in the future and new possibilities to visualize 3D data or explore simulations of complex systems.

The project consists of an Augmented Reality Application and a physical interactive AR children's book "Elias - AR Kinderbuch" / “Elias – AR book” (also available in English).
The story is about a little boy Elias, his first day at school and about friendship. Each chapter invites children to accompany Elias on his school day and actively try AR technology: From planting flowers, enjoying music, playing basketball to painting colourful pictures in the room and marveling at this work of art from all perspectives. Images and figures detach from the pages and float above the book to make stories even more real and become part of our human environment. The app intends to introduce children to the new technology AR in a playful way.

The project "Elias AR Children's Book" by Janine Weirich was developed as part of the university course "Mobile Programming" by Manuela Rink in the winter term 2017/2018 at the University of Applied Sciences in Darmstadt.

Sleep is one of our dearest and most important resources. It is hard to work in order for someone who had a lack of sleep at night. This is also and maybe especially true for babies or toddlers and their newly minted parents.
At night babies cry for hundreds of reasons and parents are left quite clueless on what to do. On the one hand our system, consisting of different sensors, gives guidance on where the problem could be and on the other hand helps to develop a certain sleep routine, that can lull babies back to sleep, even without waking parents up.

In diesem Video wird das Semesterprojekt von Isabel Gaubatz, Simone Haas und Romina Marsico, Studentinnen des Studiengangs Interactive Media Design der Hochschule Darmstadt, vorgestellt. Dabei handelt es sich um ein interaktives Spiel, bei dem zwei Roboter per Gesten gesteuert werden und gemeinsam mehrere Level auf einem projizierten Spielfeld erleben können.

Semester Projekt des Studiengangs "Interactive Media Design"

timbr is an interactive LED box and midi controller reacting to movements without touching. Giving audiovisual Feedback dependent on positions and movements of objects in front of it. Software used: Arduino, Processing & Ableton.

It’s a project of my sixth semester Interactive Media Design, h-da Darmstadt. Realized during the elective physical interaction. It was lots of fun - enjoy.
