Bram Knaappen - Remote Context Communicator, 2008

The non face-to-face communication of social and emotional experiences now happens through phone, e-mail, IM and/or webcam. When communicating an experience, the context it has happened in, plays an important role. Neither technology nor our way of describing enables us to communicate this visual context so that it can be experienced by the other; you can only imagine. This concept proposes a system that is able to communicate, real-time, visual context as experienced by the remote person. A user wears a small device with an integrated camera. This real time image is then translated into an abstract representation.Therefore the receiver gets (at least a part) of the visual stimuli the remote person encounters throughout the day. So you can get a glimpse of the kind of visual context the other person is in. This allows for a feel of connectedness and empathy with the remote user. In this manner two or more people can always share experiences even from a distance. The receiving unit is a series of modular triangles one can set up however they like. It becomes a dynamic wall sculpture personalized by the abstraction of experience. More info: http://www.bramknaapen.com/?p=333
