Encounter – Suspiciously curious robotics

Category Members openFrameworks Robotics People Posted on:

Created by Piet Schmidt during the summer semester at UdK Berlin (New Media / Digital Class), Encounter is a a robotic arm with a mirror that curiously observes its surroundings. If it senses someone, its attention focuses on the person, pointing its mirror to their head. When an unknown person approaches it fearfully retracts but if the person moves away again, it follows curiously. Once the machine gotten used to visitors and begins to play with them, holding the mirror up to them from different perspectives.

Inside Inside – Remixing video games and cinema with ML

Created by Douglas Edric Stanley, Inside Inside is an interactive installation remixing video games and cinema. In between, a neural network creates associations from its artificial understanding of the two, generating a film in real-time from gameplay using images from the history of cinema.

Linger – Device to create and broadcast a virtual crowd

Created by Jasper van Loenen, Linger is a small, portable device that allows you to create and blend into a virtual crowd by storing the specific WiFi signals from everyone that comes near you, and rebroadcasting their signals infinitely when they leave, making it seem as if they are still there.

GAD – RC4 / Computational design methodologies for large-scale 3D printing

RC4 in London researches computational design methodologies for large-scale 3D printing with industrial robots, taking logistical, structural and material constraints as design opportunities to generate non-representational architectural spaces with extreme information density.
