Elastic Experiences: Designing Adaptive Interaction for Individuals and Crowds in the Public Space
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like548 views
This document summarizes a master's thesis project on designing adaptive interactive public art installations that can accommodate both individuals and crowds. The project explored how to create experiences that can gracefully transition between individual and group specific engagements based on environmental conditions like audience size. It involved testing prototypes with different interaction styles and aesthetic techniques like auras, halos and sound/mist to connect evolving scenarios. The goal was to foster a sense of connectedness whether people interact alone or as a group.
