Abstract

In this work we present our approach for creating interactive media façades by using purpose-built tools. They are intended to create prototypes and conduct field investigations in this domain. We share our vision of an extended design process which describes ways to engage large user groups by urban prototyping and experience novel interventions in public places. Architects, designers and researchers can receive first hand insights into the suitability of their chosen interaction design concept for media architecture by using our tools and approach.
