« Public appearances | Main | Denise Caruso: Intervention » DIY Home at Maker FairePhoto above is a shot of the DIY Home of the Future installation at Maker Faire, concocted by Derek Woodgate, David Demaris, and I, with a lot of help from other folks. It wasn't practical to build our complete vision of the DIY Home, but we did manage to show some sense of the immersive media environment and suggest embedded "ambient intelligence" by including the very interesting biofeedback system "Healing Rhythms" from Wild Divine. This was a pretty good first instance of the kind of "Futurama" exhibition we want to do more of ... a kind of floating museum of the future. We ran into all sorts of interesting problems of production, but Dave Demaris is a real genius at solving those problems. Biggest hit: Brian Park's Flogiston Chair with a nice bendy screen for fully immersive game play. Kids were all over it. (BTW, we were using the same chair that was used in the film "Lawnmower Man.") We're at Maker Faire again today, if you're in or around Austin... jon posted this at 7:35 AM |
