We hardly ever see the stars in the city. Navigation is a complex task. Portable northern star is a new way to relate to our space. Inspired by the gesture of playing with a necklace, this star shines when it’s pointing north, taking a gesture and turning it into a cue to navigate the city.

Created with the specific needs of a little boy in mind, this game questions the concept of controller and attempts to make it as simple as possible.

A basketball controls a computer game that happens in this virtual / real space.

The game happens on screen and serves a physiotherapy as well as recreational.

This project was possible thanks to the Nathan Cummings Foundation grant.

In collaboration with David Steele Overholt

Pinformation is a simple interactive board based on providing a structure for displaying information between the real world and digital information (physical to virtual spaces). Simply put, the board is an inexpensive, easy-to-use, and straightforward alternative to more cumbersome interactive boards (such as touch screen LCD panels, interactive whiteboards, etc). It has no learning curve, is easily portable, less breakable, and requires no special parts. It is also easily customized.
