Particle Mind — Philipp Schmitt

http://philippschmitt.com/projects/particle-mind

Four-week workshop on the basics of media in a three-dimensional space. Particle Mind is a playful visualization of brain structures. It's based on a 3D holographic display that blends in physical objects with digital content. The holo-box makes use of the Pepper's ghost. Illusion technique. Thanks to a mirror-technique inside the box, certain brain structures appear inside of a glass head. Prof Dr. Franklin Hernández-Castro. Hochschule für Gestaltung Schwäbisch Gmünd.

Construction of Time — Philipp Schmitt

http://philippschmitt.com/projects/construction-of-time

One-week introduction to physical prototyping at HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd. Construction of time is a workshop about the representation of time through dynamic objects. We want to explore possibilities beyond the efficiency of a digital watch. Looking for new ways of interaction and setups communicating a different approach to time and timing. Together with Stephan Bogner. And Kim Heller, I created experimental connected hourglasses. Where's the greater meaning in this thing? We're still looking for it, too.

Connected Intensive Care Unit — Philipp Schmitt

http://philippschmitt.com/projects/connected-icu

Connected Intensive Care Unit. An auditory communication system for a silent ICU. We developed a scenario for how connected technology could be applied to an intensive care unit (ICU) in a modern hospital. We didn't try to become doctors and improve medical care itself, but rather focussed on the ICU environment. You can read up on the design procss on the HfG Wiki.

The IoT Switchboard — Philipp Schmitt

http://philippschmitt.com/projects/internet-of-things

Play switchboard operator to connect your electronics to the internet and explore what happens when machines start talking to each other. The division between the digital and the analog world as we know it today is vanishing. With tiny electronics everywhere, many things around us will soon be interconnected. The Internet of Things Switchboard is an interactive installation to explore what happens when machines start talking to each other. Notice how some objects, like the television, are already interne...

Unseen Portraits — Philipp Schmitt

http://philippschmitt.com/projects/unseen-portraits

Investigating what face tracking algorithms consider to be a human face. Computer vision relies on algorithms to make sense of the world. Unseen Portraits. Investigates what face recognition algorithms consider to be a human face. 1 We use a computer program to distort a portrait photo over time. The distortion is displayed on a screen. 2 A webcam films that screen and streams the video to a second computer. The person portrayed is now invisible to computer vision. Get your personal Unseen Portrait.

Meta — Philipp Schmitt

http://philippschmitt.com/projects/meta

Once a year, you go into the basement to visit your energy meter. That's too seldom to stay on top of your energy consumption. Saving Energy is important. Be it for the purpose of saving money or protecting the environment. Still, the energy meter — the only indicator of energy consumption — carves out a miserable existence in the basements of our homes and is rarely read. We made a animated video to illustrate the concept:. The Problem with Energy. Apart from knowing that it is related to energy, most p...

http://philippschmitt.com/projects/interaktionsgestaltung

A website about the Interaction Design BA programme at HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd. Is an informational website about studies and student life at HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd. The Interaction Design programme at Hochschule für Gestaltung Schwäbisch Gmünd (where I study) is great. Alumni are in high demand, studying is a lot of fun and the university offers superb facilities and equipment. Nevertheless, very few people apply. With our website www.interaktionsgestaltung.io. We are trying to change this.

Make Longer Cables — Philipp Schmitt

http://philippschmitt.com/projects/make-longer-cables

A short film I made during a one-week mechatronics workshop. During a one-week introductory workshop to mechatronics, we wired and programmed a five-axis robotic arm. Half-way into the workshop, faced with the question what we should do with the robot, we had a funny idea: Since most robots are generally involved in repetitive tasks, what if the robot bored by its monotonous work tried to commit suicide by pushing itself off the table? Philipp Schmitt, Stephan Bogner.
