NIKON TABLE
NIKON TABLE
This interactive multi user table displayed Nikons digital imaging technologies at the Photokina 08 in Cologne.
Jannis Kilian Kreft created the visual design and developed the vvvv realtime software in collaboration with meso digital interiors.
The colours of the table were chosen to match Nikons corporate identity, though using images as the main style element added much to the spectrum and formed a very colourful design approach.
To access the content six stations were implemented. Two additional layers triggered a stunning visual effect covering the whole table with huge photographies and closeups of Nikon camera details, making the entire surface interactive.
The content was organized in a floating semantic net and arranged around the topics Sharpness, Colours, Speed and Control. To open one of the items the visitor just needed to wave his hand over the table, another simple gesture of the hand browsed to the next item. The content consisted of short animated video sequences and text.
The playful effect layers consisted of two flocks of images that fell at irregular intervals on the table. A waving gesture over an effect layer image triggered a mask transition and revealed the picture very large as a slowly moving table background. When the visitor left the table, the main topic returned to its dynamic position in the semantic net.
vvvv was the multipurpose toolkit of choice for motion sensing and content creation.
