Facade (14)

Three Facade Sketches

The Idea Mixer
An interactive fluid mechanics simulation representing the
flow and mixing of ideas in the media lab; it also previews the new lab.

The Empathetic Facade
The building reacts to its inhabitants' moods.

The Embossed Building
The building reconfigures its surface to simulate
various light interactions, such as surface textures, bas-relief
and embossing.

Yet another facade example: Urban Echo

Audience members contribute content through text messaging, and display takes facade elements (namely windows) into account.

Sort of similar to TXTual Healing in that way.

Another facade example: Space Invaders 2006 (NYU ITP)

"Space Invaders 2006 uses a person’s motions to control a video game projected on the facade of a building. Players move their bodies to control an aircraft and shoot down enemies before they descend and vanish off the facade. Dodging and jumping, the pedestrian engages in a game with the building."

Watching the movie is probably the fastest way to understand the project:
