Entity | Categorizing and visualization

To systemize such a mass of subjective memories, valuations and fantasy inspired references is difficult if not to say impossible. It is like categorizing the nature is self, since nature is the blueprint that is always behind human creations. If I find one reference it leads to another one. So this should only been seen as inspiration, for further creation.

Entity | Observations

Entity qualities are the things that makes a machine tick for us as human beings. Its the food for imagination and the reason why some love their computer while others are scared of offending an old elevator. Its the old belief that a tree in nature may be a troll, and that spirits lives in oil lamps. Its one of human last hope of not being alone in the universe together with the rest of the animals.

Animism

"It is often extended to include the belief that supernatural beings (or souls) endowed with reason, intelligence and volition inhabit ordinary objects as well as animate beings, and govern their existence (pantheism or animatism). More simply, the belief is that "everything is alive", "everything is conscious" or "everything has a soul".

Items may have the entity as it main purpose, like toy robots etc, or some may have a few entity qualities as a design feature for added emotional appearance and meta values for strengthening its brand. One clear and seldom example is Apples sleep light in their laptops.

Art Server | RiFID | Touchable services

For most of the people, art is expensive. So you have only the possibility to look at it in the gallery, by a poster, or find a low pix picture on the internet. But what if we can make a system that makes it possible to se the art, and then send it home to your own place, or even more interesting, to send it to a friend, loved ones or family. Like a present, or something that you want to share, a special picture that you think would be interesting for your girlfriend.

SUMMARY. SNØBALL

SNØBALL is a physical videogame that uses a modified web-cam to track a infra-red signal from a electronic "snowball" The snowball has a impact sensor that triggers when the ball hits the wall. The web-cam is modified so that its very sensitive for infrared light. A double layer of exposed color film is used to prevent the camera from detecting visible light.
On impact the projector animates graphical snow-crystals and points.
