After our trip to London and Berlin, it was time to aerate our ideas. We arranged a brainstorming session, and together with Kenneth and Reinert, we had some effective and rich hours Tuesday afternoon. We started off with a “quick five memories” where we talked about what installations we remembered first. The Big Circle, the […]

NRK Opplevelser is an experience center at the norwegian broadcasting studio. Their main user group is school classes, and it seems like most of the attractions is created with this age group in mind.

When entering we are greeted by a big tree-like construction, showing all different norwegian TV channels. In front of each screen is […]

A friend of André is working as a producer for films, mostly within advertising but also films for different campains and fictional short films. We got the chance to attend on a shooting, to see how it works and to see which environment to recreate if we choose to make the film set a part […]

Just have to save this link of a dancing little yellow ‘bird’ somewhere. I really like the simple shapes and the fact that he’s even more lifelike than the other robots that joins him dancing in the end of the video. The way he moves has so much to say, and I guess that’s a […]

We made a trip to Spektrum, an own wing but part of the technical museum in Berlin, with lots of funny physical experiements, and real tangible stuff. It is clear that the whole exhibition has existed for quite some years, but the 70’s finish dosen’t diminish the exploration factor, and the exhibition manages to deliver […]

The Film Museum in Berlin is a very conventional one, in the sense that it most of the time the consists of material that’s at display, and very seldom ‘interactive’ in the sense we were researching. Still, it was very interesting to see the exhibition, and it was very well executed. It was huge for […]

The 19,000 square-meter Memorial for the murdered Jews of Europe, which was opened to the public on May 12, 2005, consists of 2711 stones placed on sloping, uneven ground in an undulating wave-like pattern, giving visitors the feeling of insecurity as though the stones were on unstable ground.Visitors can enter from all four sides, day […]

This sounded just like the place to visit for our research. Unfortunately the special exhibition about robots had just ended, and that might have been something, at least on a general basis for us as interaction designers. In the permanent exhibition there was not much of interest, I’m afraid. It consisted mostly of historical objects […]

Luckily to us, Kenneth Sieber from Mindstorm (Interactive Surface Solutions) had some time to show us their iBar, located at 24, a nightclub in Soho, London. Mindstorm has done some really nice interactive works at this club. For instance, on the walls inside they have made projections of landscapes that are affected by people who […]

A project running a bit on the side of our diploma, “Rom Tennis” (Space Tennis) is a specially designed game for forskningsdagene, a place where researchers and educational institutes present themselves to the public. The theme this year was the poles and global warming. AHO was represented by interaction design from our Institute for Industrial […]
