WIND. MEDIATED REALITY VISUALIZATION

Abstract

[EN] In this paper we present Wind, an on-going research project that aims at constructing new modes of interaction with the city via poetic real-time data visualization. The project consists on a mapping device that measures and stores the intensity and direction of the signal coming from Wi-Fi routers and cellular antennae together with two Android-based augmented reality prototypes that modify what their users see or hear. The prototypes allow us to re-visit the city, intervening on our perception of it as well as allowing us to explore the geographical and perceptual disruption that arises when using one city’s data onto another.
