Improvised Ensemble for INTEL©

This video shows just one of a number of concepts CIID created in a 3-week project for Intel. It represents a potential future vision of ensemble computing from a users perspective. In this instance the personas meet to record themselves while doing the extreme sport -- parkour. Using a new generation of devices with multiple functionalities, (in this case: 4 wireless cameras, a wireless hard-drive and 2 wireless GPS systems) -- the scenario explains how the devices are configured to record and tag data with a time and place. The mobile hard-drive serves as the master device that scans the area for other mobile electronics and tells them where to send all the captured data. When the participants return to their home they place the devices on a configuration mat, which changes the behavior instantly, making the mobile cameras act as controllers for the recorded video feed. This enables a live-editing session of the recorded material and suggests that it is possible to add more devices with multiple functionalities. These would subsequently act together to create different digital content. For more information on this or other consulting projects with CIID please contact us: info@ciid.dk
