Healing
An interactive floor space that reacts to "wounds" created by walking on it's surface. The art moves and flows always changing and once interacted with (wounded) it never takes the same shape again. For more info click here.

Imagination Environment
The centre screen shows the news or any other TV chaneel / show as desired (it was CNN for this example). The application captures key words randomly from the central terminal and sends out requests to the internet. The results from search engines, blogs, web site etc are then loaded onto the surrounding screens. I really enjoyed seeing the social connections randomly established by this application.

CirculaFloor
A moving floor interface that users (wearing a VR headset) can walk on in order to travel within the virtual space without actually travling in the physical space. For more info click here.
