What is LEADD:NG Interactive Installations all about?
This event will allow participants to design interactive displays & installations that encourage audiences to play, experiment and immerse themselves in products & performances.
During three sequential Focus sessions, the LEADD:NG experts will deliver a crash-course in interactive light, sound and movement technologies, help you generate ideas for your own interactive experience, and then work with you to hone these ideas into workable and cost-effective concepts.
The key essential technical aspects that will be covered include:
- Hardware/software platforms like Arduino, Bare Conductive, Raspberry Pi and Bela
- Capabilities and limitations of input sensors for touch, voice and movement
- Interactive outputs and actuators including sound, light, graphics and servo motors
- Wireless communication between components of interactive installations
- Preparing interactive installations for remote audiences
Technical considerations will be situated against real-world examples of innovative, successful installations.
The session then move to an ideation dialogue, exploring ideas for installations that can appeal to your customers and audiences. The team will support you to create initial sketches of concepts, including identifying the most appropriate hardware and software platform, inputs, outputs and materials. They will help you develop these sketches into detailed designs for installations.
Please note this is an online event held via MS Teams and joining instructions will be emailed prior to the event.
