Aim to cut IAMAS electricity consumption by 50%! The activities of EcoRef (a project considering the environment) are presented on panels. A booth is provided wherein visitors can experience a prototype of the system currently in development.

Open House Photo Projection System (OHPP) ver.2 is a system to facilitate information sharing amongst visitors, or between IAMAS staff (organizers) and visitors. During Open House a prototype system is operated as a demonstration.

Sound files and GPS linkages incorporate information into outside spaces. Users walk with a customized device and physically experience a new interpretation of space.

This project researches and produces new digital toys utilizing information technology. Rather than focusing on the final results, the process of this work is disclosed (research, sketching, prototyping) during Open House .

A work capable of intuitively editing sound it is exposed to, which was presented last year at an academic conference is introduced. This work, Tangible 3D Graphic Equalizer,is presented along with a thermal sensing figure prototype currently in production.

A sensor node prototype and its contents are introduced, as well as a simple system proposal directed towards general ubiquitous environments for databases and sensor nodes or RFIDs.

A cafe where a selection from the nine year archive of IAMAS TV is shown. Students run everything from planning to production to create this new public media show.

Workspaces for students, professors and researchers are proposed and executed under this project. This year, progress for the remodeling of the Center for Media Culture will be displayed as an ongoing project.

Portrait Cinema is exhibited featuring an HD display set up in portrait view to explore the possibilities of portrait-oriented playback. This work was conceived by a first year student. Previously created movies are also shown, and a timeline of creations is introduced.

The five human senses of sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell are connected with LEDs, sound, images, sensers, and somen. Through this presentation visitors discover new ways of viewing familiar, everyday things. Hope you enjoy it!
