Manipulable screens can be used to interact with 3D objects by tracking hand movements with cameras behind a semi-transparent screen and a projector. These screens allow for interactive video games and could provide better city maps and learning tools for both professionals and laypeople to understand their environment. The technology could also show the past of a city to connect people to those who lived there before and break down anonymity.

Urban.Screens
The document discusses various light and media installations around the world that turn buildings and cityscapes into interactive works of art. It mentions projects by artists such as Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Krzysztof Wodiczko that have projected images and text onto buildings to transform and question the spaces. Examples of installations mentioned include SPOTS in Berlin, Blickenlights in Berlin, and Body Movies in Rotterdam.
Locative media
The document summarizes discussions from a Mobilities Seminar on mobile media, technology, and design for social change. It discusses locative media projects that use mobile technologies to augment urban spaces and alter how people navigate and experience cities. It provides examples of locative media art projects that have used mobile phones, text messages, and movement tracking to create interactive experiences across physical urban spaces.
Sp8ce presentation
The document discusses 4 projects using virtual reality (VR) for mobility and public space design, visualization, immersion, and simulation. The projects include an urban renovation in Wavre, an autonomous shuttle simulation for STIB, a public consultation in Anderlecht, and citizen awareness for Brussels Mobility. It raises questions about using open data and VR for real impact and concludes by providing contact information for Xavier TACKOEN and Thierry JOURQUIN to discuss VR projects further.
Cinema of the Software Cinema: Lev Manovich
This document discusses Lev Manovich and his views on new media and digital culture. It summarizes some of Manovich's key ideas, such as seeing the database as a new symbolic form of computerized society that models reality as an endless collection of data. It also discusses Manovich's concept of "soft cinema" as the logical evolution of cinema that uses 3D computer animation and databases. The document raises questions about how structuring experience through "plastic art" and databases may change our perception of ourselves and the world.
Spaces for people
7 minute talk for "Multi-sensory design - creating healthier public spaces" event in London on 8th December.
A discussion of the problem of meshing sensory and narrative content in a physical space and the need to leave gaps for people to make their own experiences using their capacities.
Mattern, The City Has Always Been Mediated, Part 1
The document discusses the concept of a "sentient city" where urban infrastructure is capable of sensing and responding to events and activities through ubiquitous computing. It argues that citizens could play an active role in shaping how technologies impact urban life, rather than technology having overwhelming control. The document examines how projects might explore alternative designs for sentient city environments and relationships between computing, architecture, and inhabitants.
Roven yu
The document discusses several interactive installations in urban spaces that change patterns of light or lighting in response to human presence and movement without requiring portable devices. It includes interviews where people expressed interest in interacting with urban screens and a preference for locations with high foot traffic like areas where people wait. The document also considers questions around how displays would respond if many people interacted at once and whether vehicles could also be part of interactions. It references several related works and sources.
Graffiti
Graffiti provides an unofficial means of expression that allows people to communicate and share their views outside of official or sanctioned channels. It represents a subjective map and identity quest for those who create it anonymously. By reclaiming and redefining channels of communication, graffiti acts as a lively manifestation and exercise in reterritorializing open networks through an informal creative process.

Science Inquiry
The core characteristic of science inquiry is helping students develop evidence-based explanations of natural phenomena.
Outer Fog
This document discusses how crowds can lead people to feel alone and anonymous due to a lack of individual recognition. It proposes installing outer mirrors in public areas that use computer vision to reflect an individual's image alongside one neighbor, blurring the rest of the crowd. This aims to occasionally remind people in crowds of their own and others' individuality in a momentary way, breaking the anonymity and diffusion of responsibility that can come from being in large groups.
Cbe Presentation 121709
A biology teacher felt burned out and needed new ways to inspire her students and improve her teaching. She realized she needed support from more experienced teachers and an organized way to find teaching resources and information. By developing a personal learning network (PLN) online, she was able to connect with other teachers through groups and chats to gain new ideas and reflections that reinvigorated her teaching.
Sci Inquiry / Experimentation
The document discusses the emergence of the theory of plate tectonics. It begins by asking what happened to cause the arrangement of continents seen today. This leads to the idea that perhaps the continents were once joined together in a landmass called Pangea. Further evidence from ocean crust mapping and studies supported the theory that the continents move over time due to shifts in tectonic plates under the crust. The text explores how this theory developed through gathering multiple lines of evidence and testing explanations of the natural world using the scientific method.
Invitation 2 Inquiry
This document discusses inquiry-based learning and the skills needed for students to effectively learn from information on the Internet. It provides examples of inquiry questions and describes an inquiry continuum from structured to open-ended learning. It also lists necessary strategies students must develop, such as staying focused on questions, effectively searching for information, critically evaluating sources, and communicating findings.
"(Not So) Funny Books"
The document discusses the misrepresentation of Native American characters in comic books through the use of harmful stereotypes. It outlines several criteria to help evaluate the level of stereotyping, including examining the vocabulary used, how Native Americans speak and dress, whether they are portrayed as extinct or as either noble savages. The document provides specific examples from comic books that do and do not conform to these stereotypes. It argues for the need to recognize Native American humanity and diversity in comic book portrayals.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE
The document summarizes the history of digital architecture from its origins in computing pioneers in the 1960s to its current state. It describes how early innovators like Gordon Pask and Nicholas Negroponte incorporated digital concepts and tools in their work. However, digital architecture was not widely adopted until the 1990s with the digital revolution that made computers ubiquitous. The development of tools like AutoCAD in the 1980s also helped digital architecture mature. While technology advanced rapidly, its adoption was slowed by the disconnect between innovations and socio-political contexts.

Presentation @SAP: sofware and media, weaving timelines
The document discusses the history and evolution of screens from classical to interactive screens. It traces how screens have developed from framing separate virtual spaces in paintings and films to dynamic screens that can display changing images over time, like in TVs and videos. Modern computer screens allow real-time updates and interactivity through overlapping windows. The document also examines the concepts of remediation and interfaces, how new media represents older media and the tension between immediacy and hypermediacy in digital media. It argues that professionals in media and software fields should learn from the interweaving histories of their technologies to challenge traditional approaches.

The Future of Maps for Mobility / Geography2050
While high-resolution satellite imagery is the foundation of digital mapping, the demands of urban mobility require highly accurate, frequently updated data from a different vantage point – the ground. Recent advances in street-level imagery collection and data extraction are lifting up new trends in location-based services, smart cities, and autonomous vehicles. As map technologists push the boundaries of machine intelligence for extracting data from images, human collaboration will drive the creation of maps for mobility for all.
City Games: Up and Down and Sideways on the Ladder of Abstraction
Like games and everyday life, games and cities have been intersecting in two primary ways: modelling the city in an abstract view from above, with planning games and urban simulations, and transforming people's everyday urban experiences and behaviors with playful interventions on the ground. Neither one, this talk argues, has been particularly successful in creating lasting improvements in citizen's well being. To accomplish this, we need to take game design seriously and look sideways at the messy middle between map and territory, the processes in which one is translated into the other (or not).

6 hybrid space_walking
This paper examines how mobile technologies and web 2.0 applications are changing how people organize and experience city spaces. It argues that these technologies favor map-space and location awareness over experiencing the city as practiced place. Users may lose the sensory experience of walking in physical spaces as they become more focused on linking locations virtually. The paper proposes exploring the "flaneur" as a rhetorical strategy to restore the experience of being a walker fully present in physical space.

(Not so) #smart cities - May 31 2012 - LISS conference
The document discusses smart cities and some of the technologies, economic factors, and social considerations driving their development. It notes that factors like economic crises, shifting demographics, and advances in technology are prompting cities to become smarter to remain competitive globally. Smart cities aim to use data and technologies like ICT to improve efficiency, sustainability, and quality of life for citizens. Some examples highlighted include Masdar, a planned smart city in the desert, and Plan IT Valley, a new smart city development in Portugal. The document concludes by arguing smart cities should empower citizens and address real urban problems through open, citizen-focused projects using technology as a tool.
The Metacity
The document discusses how cities are becoming digital platforms that overlay the physical world. As computing and mobile devices become more integrated into daily life, digital experiences are complementing and sometimes replacing physical experiences. In the future, computing will surround and empower people in cities in more natural ways using environmental context. The city itself is becoming the platform, network, sensors, and interface - layering the physical and digital worlds and offering increased mobility options, data access, and connections to people and information.

Conferencia de Fabien Girardin en el ciclo "La Ciudad Híbrida. VIsualización Urbana y Mapeo Colaborativo" dirigido por José Luis de Vicente para el Espacio-Red de Prácticas y Culturas Digitales de la Universidad Internacional de Andalucía.
Las tecnologías ubicuas que nos ofrecen diariamente una nueva flexibilidad que facilita nuestra vida personal proporcionan al mismo tiempo los medios para localizarnos. Esta presentación examinará cómo las interacciones registradas con infraestructuras “soft” contemporáneas revelan elementos de nuestra movilidad e indicadores para evaluar el entorno híbrido urbano. Consideraré la aspereza y las grietas de esta emergente capa de información. Sin embargo, en vez de analizar una perspectiva utilitarista que modela la ciudad como un sistema y busca mejorar su eficiencia, me centraré en el lado humano de los datos y cómo su subjetividad y contingencia alteran nuestra relación con el espacio.

Psychological Maps 2.0: A Web Engagement Enterprise Starting in London
This document summarizes a study that created an online game to test people's ability to recognize locations in London from Google Street View images. Over 2,255 participants played the game, providing data to build a "recognizability map" of London. The study found that central London was the most recognizable, while some outer boroughs had little cognitive representation. Recognizability correlated with an area's exposure to subway passengers and social media users. Areas with low recognizability faced more social problems like deprivation and crime. The results provide insights at the intersection of web science and smart city planning.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
