Unità Zero
Interactive Design » Unità Zero
>CONCEPT
Five are the senses, many more the combinations of feelings.
If senses describe reality, their combination is an ideal and intangible depiction.
Unità Zero let itself be explored, narrating the ideal by means of the sensible, in a seamless synesthetic chain of sensations.
>PROJECT
Unità Zero is composed of 5 walkable pads. Such elements represent the sensitive nodes of the system, triggered by pressure, generally exercised by the visitors' feet or hands. The activation of the pad unleashes a chain reaction on three different levels:
- local level (light feedback): represented by a pulsating, red flashlight emitted by four LED strips located under the transparent surface of the pad. This blinking light is the first reply perceived by the visitor about the activation of the trigger.
- visual level (video sequencing): each pad acts as a push button. Therefore there are up to 32 possible combinations: each one is codified with a specific video, which is played back on the display system.
- auditory level (audio mix): in addition to video, each pad triggers his own audio sample. When more than one pad is triggered, each sample is mixed together and the result is a composite looping sound which is always in synch.
>SIMULATION
Sorry, flash is not available.
Click on each of the five pads to simulate a steady pressure on the pad itself. Trick with any combination: results can be seen and heard.
