Interaction design - Lighting up the portal with patterns
Inside the tunnel are designed LED screens which project several preset lighting patterns. The patterns are inspired by the spallation system of the research centres to create awareness of the facilities.
Users can light up the tunnel by touching the led display with their controller. They can choose from eleven patterns, and apply this on 11 modules consisting of a total of 242 surface areas. They can equally change the hue and intensity of each pattern. The reaction time of the setup is quick, and the interaction is easy . The aim of the dynamics is the guide the users through the tunnel and make them aware of the development of the surrounding area.
Awareness
Users can navigate the area and find several current / future landmarks in Brunnshög.
When the user is close enough to the landmark the information button is activated. By pressing the button, the users can get some information about the buildings with 3D widgets.
