A "smart" rangefinder scanner that instead of continuously scanning over the full field of view, restricts its scanning are to a narrow window the size of the target. A laser diode, steering mirrors, and a single non-imaging photodetector. |
 |
An interactive-art installation allowing people to explore pre-recorded movie content in an entirely new way. By touching a deformable projection screen, the user is able to send parts of the image forward or backwards in time. |
 |
An attempt to teleport a physical object through the internet using high speed vision and fast robotics.
|
 |
Large scale installation at Okamura Design Space featuring ten "khronos projector" screens and a special light-activated "memory mirror".
|
 |
Artificial optical "cat whiskers" for people and machines. |

|
A piece of plexiglass or paper is waved in the air, and a set of projectors project the corresponding slice of a 3D virtual object on this passive surface in real time. |
 |
A retractable 3d tracking device that can be attached to a desk, clothing, or wearable electronic devices for use as an input interface providing haptic feedback. The system is based on "optical hair module" metaphor, but instead of a laser, it relies on a physical link between a reference base and a graspable extremity. |
|
Parallax Augmented Desktop (2007) A simple metaphor to simulate a much larger desktop space: consider the flat display as a window opening to a cubic space that extends behind the screen (the user head is continuosly tracked by a webcam on top of the display). |
 |
Flashes at dorkbot Tokyo (2007) Accelerometers, a toy guitar, sound and colorful particles.
|
|
Electric Silhouette Series (2007) Interactive visuals for noise group NoForkDroise. Particles bounce on silhouettes, and produce electric, tingling sounds.
|
 |
Cube Carrillon (2007) Rythm box activated by circulating patterns of light over its surface. |
|
Controled noise to produce graphic patterns. |
 |
Audio-visual interface to control a matrix of 64 audio/video channels through touch. |
|
VJ visuals series (2007)
|
 |
A paremecium avatar for fun and work. An experiment on mixed-scale spaces. |
|
With each turn of the crank, copyrighted still frames are progressively shown more clearly but in exchange your portrait is taken and uploaded on the internet. |
 |
A tribute to Mudbrige and Marey (with anecdotical connotations).
|
|
Refocus (2008) A proposal for the Climate Clock competition, city of San Jose (poster at Art and Science Colloquium), in collaboration with Jussi Ängeslevä. |
 |
BoxedEgo is a double trap for the Self. A peep-show box waiting in a corner of the exhibition space first captures the curiosity of the observer - and then the observer himself. |
|
A laser spot bounces on a figure being drawn on paper, trying to escape the labyrinth of lines. There is no camera nor projector; this is an experience where the audience can touch and interact with a beam of pure light - and even play a pong game with bare hands. |
 |
A rotating laser line is used to "hear" a painting as a needle would read a vynil record. The "melody" is however disrupted by a particular kind of "scratch": the spectators walking over the painting. A large mirror on the ceiling send them to the sky. |
|
To Blink or Not to Blink (2008) If you blink, your favorite program will be interrupted. If you force not to blink, you won't pay attention to it anyway. A reflection on the active role that we as spectators play in post-editing visual media. |
 |
The world as seen by a delusional bunnie-doll.
|
|
Transparencies (2005-2008) Using the khronos projector interface to pierce walls and see the inside of human bodies and bugs. |
 |
Ghosts in Junji's saccade-based Display (2008) If correctly placed and synchronized, CCD image sensors are capable of capturing floating images between the saccade display LED bars, even when not moving at all. |
|
“Ouroboros” is a shared virtual space, a world-scale tunnel built by chaining video-conferencing cameras and projectors in a closed loop around the world. |
 |
The Cat's Mask (2008) Artificial cat's whiskers to feel feline and luminous. |
|
"scoreLight" is a prototype musical instrument capable of generating sound in real time from the lines of doodles as well as from the contours of three-dimensional objects nearby (hands, silhouettes, architectural details). |
 |
The principle of the Haptic Radar applied to a car. Vibration on a driver headaband, sensors on the car surface. The surface is also composed of panes of OLED as reactive lights. |
|
A VU-meter made of body parts and people standing (in progress). |
