Meditation Tree: A Visual Interactive Device for Future Mood In a future shaped by information overload and rising digital stress, the ability to regulate emotions and maintain inner balance is becoming essential. The Meditation Tree is an interactive device that addresses this need by combining meditation practices with data physicalisation.

Hand-2-Hand is a physical computing project that bridges digital and physical communication by transforming virtual interactions into tangible experiences. Using robotic arms, our system enables remote users to physically interact across distances, creating a new dimension of collaboration and emotional expression.

PhotoSynth is an immersive, hands-on and collaborative soundscape exhibition where you take to the conductor’s podium to lead your own orchestra of plants! Taking advantage of how electrical signals within plants can be converted to unique, beautiful sounds, our goal is to create a collaborative experience that will help us feel more in touch with nature whilst boosting creativity and inspiration.

Our concept satirizes this future with an escape-room challenge for Amazon-Worker candidates. We track how "robotic" participants are to see if they can meet Amazon warehouse demands. Successful players receive a symbolic key granting access to potential job opportunities.

Echo Garden is an interactive installation where users work together to control the direction and strength of a central fountain using gestures and distance sensors, watering surrounding flowerpots. Designed as a playful, puzzle-solving experience, Echo Garden invites users to cooperate, explore, and discover: only by following the light-guided sequence and coordinating their actions can they trigger a full garden dance and celebratory music.

Our project is an immersive interactive installation that transforms user input into vibrant sensory feedback. Using a range of sensors—including sound, vibration, and pressure—the system detects how users engage with their surroundings. The more input the user provides, the more intense and expressive the response: bubbles fill the space, and colorful lights grow brighter and more dynamic.

Spin-phony is an interactive musical installation that transforms traditional performances into a playful and collaborative experience. Designed for three musicians and one conductor, the installation features a rotating turntable fitted with three instruments and one 'conductors' station. This setup disrupts the usual sense of ownership over an instrument and encourages participants to step out of their comfort zones.

Our project redefines music as an interactive, multi-sensory experience. Using pressure sensors, dynamic lighting, and feedback through touch, visuals, and sound, we let users see, feel, and shape music. The concept revolves around Data physicalisation, enhancing rhythm perception through intuitive interaction, and Augmented collaboration, enabling real-time co-creation.

The fear of darkness is an instinctive response. To counteract this, people light torches and illuminate lamps around them. Light has thus become a metaphor for safety in the human heart. However, one cannot guarantee that light will always be present.

Team discussions can be hard. Everyone wants to voice their opinions, but not everyone's voices are equally heard. How do we make collaboration more visual and interactive, in a fun way that also fosters team dynamics?

Sea Saw is an interactive, balance-based installation that challenges participants to work together to control a shared on-screen surfer gliding across a virtual ocean to collect coins within a limited time.

U Tube is a physical-digital hybrid tool that transforms the way we brainstorm—eliminating talking over each other, awkward silences, and passive participants. Designed for teams that value clarity and creativity, it uses a smart turntable to randomly assign turns, giving everyone equal speaking opportunities

This project, inspired by racing games, integrates an accelerometer to control a vehicle, providing an interactive experience that combines technology and physical engagement. Positioned in work and leisure environments, the vehicle offers a unique way to promote relaxation, social interaction, and physical activity.

"AI on Trial" is an interactive installation that explores data physicalisation through the lens of “The Future of Work.” It critiques the growing role of AI in hiring processes systems that reduce complex human qualities into simplified, quantifiable data.

By simulating the delicate balance of natural ecosystems, this project emphasises gardening as a shared responsibility. Users learn to regulate key growth factors and, through real-time coordination, gain a deeper appreciation for plant care and the role of teamwork in sustaining life.

Circa Solace is an ambient, interactive meeting table designed to soften the emotional tension of traditional workplace meetings. Rooted in the theme of the Future of Work, this project challenges the dominance of verbal communication in professional settings by introducing non-verbal, symbolic, and sensory interactions.

This project aims to create an interactive installation called The Composer, which generates real-time music based on visual patterns drawn by users.

In a corporate world, where there are voices that dominate in every group conversation, making the peers hesitate while speaking, we decided on creating a harmonious way of gently balancing that dynamic without interruptions. Inspired by how flowers follow sunlight, Speak Bloom follows voices, enabling everyone to have their say !
