Another from SuperUber that might be very basic but i think is very bold and effective.
I like how they instead of having a flat screen, made this interesting “coral” like pattern with the screens.
“Buzios’ Coral Reef Park Visitor Center – Interactive screens, synchronized projections and corals on display are part of the interactive andarchitectural design project created by SuperUber for the Buzios’ Coral Reef Park Visitor Center,located in one of the most popular spots in the city: Rua das Pedras. The exhibition’s visual concept creates an immersive environment with shapes inspired by coral patterns, which together form a mosaic of images, made of videos, animations, corals and information, with themes such as preservation, oceanography and environmental education. Original ambient sound for the projections composed by Lucas Marcier.” Text from site
One of my new fave company’s out there to look out for I must say is SuperUber. They have some fun ideas and visuals.
Here is the Minas Gerais – Vale Memorial they did in Belo Horizonte November 2010.
“The Minas Gerais – Vale Memorial concept, in Belo Horizonte, presents the state’s history using multimedia and interactive resources. The building opened in november 2010 and was restored according to Gringo Cardia’s project. The Memorial’s technology director is Russ Rive – CEO and CTO of SuperUber – responsible for the research and technology strategy that made possible the Museum’s original interactions. The Memorial is part of the Liberdade Square Cultural Circuit, project that counts with 10 different cultural centers and offers knowledge, art, science and entertainment to people. Two examples of museums in the Circuit are the Mines and Metal Museum and the TIM UFMG Knowledge Center, both having SuperUber’s works. The interactive project of the Memorial has a sophisticated technology set up for a large museum, with over 30 rooms. The innovative interfaces are specially made for the text, videos, animations and sounds of the Museum. The project also includes some interfaces where people can access content through iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Here are a few featured installations:
Modernism Room – a large projected multitouch table, about modernism in Minas Gerais, Brazil and the world.
Rock art room – electronic sensors and interactive animations show the ancient rock art drawings in movement.
Minas Gerais Farm room – projection mapping with images made by Minas Gerais artist Humberto Mauro, projected onto typical objects from a farm.” copy from site

For those who know, the Xbox Kinect is awesome but not only to play Dance Central or Kinect Sports but some really smart people out there has hacked this beautiful piece of tech. and has done some really fun things. Lets look at some of the cool hacks that those smart people have done.

Face tracking meets face projection.
Im not 100% sure how practical this is, to my knowledge having a projector projecting light into your eyes could lead to some serious issues, but at least it looks cool.
