Mobio - Listening to the walls whisper
“The sound devices described below were used for the first time by Echelle Inconnue in September 2010 in "plan d'Aou", a district of Marseilles, France, within the framework of the Smala project in order to trace a sound cartography of Islam in the city of Marseilles.
About fifteen sound edits were geolocalized in the district, these mobile prototypes gave the possibility to each one to listen to them while walking across "plane d'Aou" (For more information read (in french) : Smala Marseille, or listen online to the sounds edits)Several cases were imagined for a sound diffusion at the level of the district of "plan d'Aou", and our choice was made on a geolocalized sound system which makes "the walls whisper" by allowing a collective listening, located on places or selected spaces. This solution appeared the most appropriate to the context of the project and the district.

Pocode - C++ library for the production of interactive media“
pocode is an open-source C++ library designed by Potion for the production of interactive media across multiple platforms. pocode provides a robust, high-performance software infrastructure that allows for the creation of all types of software, from simple visual sketches to elegant mobile apps to entire software applications.
At the center of pocode’s design is a desire to make an all-purpose software library that is as simple to use as it is efficient and powerful. Thanks to pocode’s object-oriented architecture, applications stay organized and take care of themselves. Objects draw themselves, maintain their state and can be changed at any time. pocoders don’t have to worry about the intricacies of event routing, the details of threaded image loading or the pitfalls of shader construction. All of these processes are handled automatically.
At the same time, pocode is an open system that allows pocoders to dive deep into the software architecture and implement alternative methods of their own. Because of pocode’s modular design, this kind of tinkering and re-engineering can place without altering the library itself. pocoders can also extend pocode with their own poObjects, and share them with other pocoders. Since all poObjects fit within pocode’s object-oriented framework, shared poObjects can easily be incorporated into new applications, even across platforms.
While we have designed pocode with great intentionality, we see it as a work in progress. pocode is an evolving platform that will change over time in response to user feedback and to new technologies. Simply put, we want pocode to be the simplest, most useful and most technically sound software library available anywhere for the creation of interactive media.

Laser through a bottle at a trillion frames by second“
We have built an imaging solution that allows us to visualize propagation of light at an effective rate of one trillion frames per second. Direct recording of light at such a frame rate with sufficient brightness is nearly impossible. We use an indirect 'stroboscopic' method that combines millions of repeated measurements by careful scanning in time and viewpoints.
The device has been developed by the MIT Media Lab's Camera Culture group in collaboration with Bawendi Lab in the Department of Chemistry at MIT. A laser pulse that lasts less than one trillionth of a second is used as a flash and the light returning from the scene is collected by a camera at a rate equivalent to roughly 1 trillion frames per second. However, due to very short exposure times (roughly one trillionth of a second) and a narrow field of view of the camera, the video is captured over several minutes by repeated and periodic sampling.

Marius Hügli, Martin Kovacovsky - Jekyll and Hyde Augmented Reality Book“
In our experimental design project Jekyll and Hyde we explore and demonstrate the new possibilities opened up by the use of augmented reality technology in the printing sector.
Based on the novel “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” we created a book which offers additional multimedia content when combined with the screen. Rather than just putting 3D-Models over the book, we tried to find unusual ways to combine analog and digital content.
The work is a collection of applications that were developed through experiments and design studies.Software “Unifeye Design” by Metaio
