Therefore, one major goal of FLASHED is the development of novel, flexible touchscreen solutions, covering aspects like cost-effectiveness (all-printed),…
The eGlasses project is focused on the development of an open platform in the form of multisensory electronic glasses and on the integration and designing of new intelligent interaction methods using the eGlasses platform. This is an initial development focused on long-term research and technological innovation in perceptual and super-perceptual (e.g. heart rate, temperature) computing.…
Within Innovation Playground, we present Foxel, a modular, smart furniture concept that allows users to create their own interactive furniture on demand by simply snapping individual building blocks together. The modular building blocks offer benefits through their flexibility in how they can be arranged and their added interactive functionality, which makes them particularly well-suited for…
