Description (EN)
Geolocalized Interfaces
We'll be working on interactions and interfaces that are related to specific places and locations, static or in movement.
You can either work on your own geolocalized project or join the Datenschleuder / Experimental Television team for an installation for ICE train passengers traveling from Jena to Naumburg.
In any case, we'll be looking at geolocalized interfaces and things that will only work if you or they are at a specific location.
Please note: because of the nature of the second part of our course with various field trips, the ending time will vary. We might also use the train and leave Weimar; sometimes we might only return in the evenings. Please do not enroll in this course if you have other appointments or obligations on Thursday afternoons. I will not accept students asking to join just one part of this project!
