Expression Wall
Virtual graffiti setup that replaces the traditional spraycan with a tracking system (based on infrared tracking and Arduino hardware) and a rear-projected canvas. Provides a realistic replacement for traditional tagging. This setup was deployed for the first time at the 2010 edition of the Pukkelpop music festival (60.000 visiters a day, 3 days long). At this festival, it succesfully served over 1.000 users , including several professional graffiti artists and taggers. Find more on the Expression Wall on its Facebook page

Twoddler
Award winning prototype that allows toddler to post twitter messages, directed to their family members, using a physical interace. The physical interface is a typical Fisherprice activity center. Though this was merely an experiment and a prototype, people tend to take this all a bit too serious. Find more on Twoddler on its website (please read the disclaimer).
