MAI in the Market Lab at Sonar 2013

The MAI presents the research projects by its students on the Master’s degree in Advanced Interaction at Market Lab.

In specific terms, there are three pieces developed in collaboration with the Eindhoven University of Technology and ESDI: “Trailblazer” (designed so that jogging fans can discover special places in different cities while they are running), “Sound Embracers” (an instrument that generates sounds with the motion of the body) and “Open Up” (a special suit that connects the wearer with their surroundings). As well as these three works, the exhibits will include pieces about digital production and sound produced in workshops, and some of the students at the centre will be working on site on their final projects, showing the processes, experimentation and developments live.

David Dalmazo pointed me to this hack that turns a Playstation Eye camera into a cheap microscope.

I bought a second hand camera for 15 euro and mounted the lens upside down. Here is an image of the screen of my laptop:
