No-logram

Experiments from artist @joanielemercier exploring interactive volumetric visuals with light and gas, or ‘screenless projections’:

I’m obsessed with projections in mid-air, ever since I first saw Princess Leia ‘so-called’ hologram, and I dreamed for years of having a go at Tom Cruise’s UX in minority report.

I’ve used various techniques to explore similar aesthetics: peppers ghost (used in the Tupac Coachella concert), semi transparent screens, mirrors and lenses, which are often referred to as “holograms” but are in fact cheap tricks and just 2d projections. To avoid misleading use of the word hologram (remember the heated debate with Kickstarter’s CEO about the Holus scam?), I use the term No-logram (not a hologram).

I’m now developing a technique using super fine particles of water, high pressure gaz and custom nozzles, to create true volumetric projections, and build large installations in public spaces. Technically there is no limitation in size / scale.

I use common tracking technologies (depth sensor and image analysis) to allow interaction between the user/audience and the projections.

Fitness trackers started as devices for measuring workouts, but now they are designed for 24/7 monitoring and the passive collection of health data. Fitbit announced its latest device, called the Fitbit Air, to compete with other screenless trackers like the Whoop. Tech journalist Lexi Savvides joins CBS News with more. Source link

Google Challenges Whoop with New Screenless Fitness Wearable

In a sea of almost equivalent health trackers, Whoop stands aside. Because it began in 2012, the corporate has understood that the {hardware} was secondary to software program. For a dear month-to-month membership, you get entry to a (theoretically) unending collection of recent options within the Whoop app, and the corporate throws within the small, screenless sensor at no cost. This was as soon…
