There are a few things I don’t enjoy watching repeatedly – boiling cabbage, videos of cats, and anything with Ben Affleck. The one thing I can watch repeatedly are the 3D façade projections being done by NuFormer, a digital media company out of the Netherlands. They have pretty much perfected the art of mapping 2D composites in with 3D modeling and animation. Here’s one of their latest project done on the side of an old building in California.
We’ve seen cool 3D projection on objects before, but this is frighteningly cool. It’s another 3DTV installation from Samsung.
It’s not projection so much, as it is a video which run across hundreds of screens mounted to the side of the Beurs van Berlage exhibition and concert hall in Amsterdam. But it’s mapped perfectly to the facade of the 4 story, 19th century structure. This was put up in May, but if you haven’t seen it yet… here it is.
Stop. I’m telling you right now, you can quit using the excuse that you shave your body for swimming and bike riding adventures as a cover-up for your camouflage body painting hobby. Instead, you can now tell everyone that your body is being prepped as a touchpad of epic proportion.
We’re stuffing every oversize pore with the idea of projected UI wherever you go, but the latest Human-Computer Interaction experiment from Chris Harrison called Skinput turns your skin into an input device that’s hard to tear off.
I am beyond the point of training badgers to scale brick buildings and form random binomial equation patterns on the side. Today’s technology is just too advanced and one German company is showing how it’s really done.
UrbanScreen, in the attempt to completely redefine what is possible with the outer surface of a building, does so with the architectural manipulation of the Hamburg Kunsthalle Galerie der Gegenwart. It’s 3-dimensional illusion at it’s projected best.
