A couple of interactive architecture projects by Electroland

Interactive Walkways – Movie

This project features two glass pedestrian bridges designed as “Interactive Walkways,” each with a field of LED lights embedded in resilient walking surfaces. Sensors detect the presence of people and the system triggers interactive light patterns on the walkway floor.

Spatialized sound effects enhance the presence of patterns in the active field. Sound Designer Dane Davis is creating a library of unique sounds for this project.

Target Interactive Breezeway at Rockefeller Center – Movie

Electroland has designed a unique Target branded interactive experience adjacent to the newly reopened Rockefeller Center top floor observation decks. The Interactive Breezeway engages pedestrians in an ephemeral interactive encounter where their position and paths are traced by colorful avatars and effects.

Spatialized sound effects enhance the presence of patterns in the active field. Sound Designer Dane Davis is creating a library of unique sounds for this project.

R-G-B – Movie

Computer controlled colored lights fill 81 windows extending over 180 meters at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc.) Patterns are controlled by cellphone by any caller from any location, raising issues concerning private interaction and control of public spaces.

The installation is viewable both inside the building and from the exterior.

EnterActive

Movie 1 Movie 2

This project consists of a luminous field of LED lights embedded into the entry walkway that respond to the presence of visitors; a massive display of lights on the building face that mirror the patterns of the entry; and video displays in the lobby and entry areas.

Environmental intelligence and surveillance of human activity are combined with a video-game sensibility. Activities on the walkway also trigger massive light displays on the building face. When the walkway interactivity is triggered users witness their impact on the building face via a video display. Response is instantaneous.
