Interactive Design is design focused on people. It’s about understanding how the design will interact with the world, the user and other possible influences, and using this interaction to communicate a message.
Hubbub Cigarette Bin
The environmental Charity Hubbub designed various specialty bins around London to try and help with cigarette butt litter. Cigarette butts are often discarded on the ground and it’s often deemed socially acceptable to do so, even though they pollute the environment and make our streets look bad. Hubbub asks the public various questions and they can putt their cigarette butt out in whichever answer they prefer. This is effective because it engages the user in their interests in order to get them to use a bin instead of the ground.
National Field
National Field is an interactive exhibit by Cuppetelli and Mendoza which uses a projector and hundreds of vertical elastic lines to transform the users motion into art. As the user moves in front of the exhibit, their motion affects the projection which moves accordingly.
Onde Pixel
Onde Pixel is a 20-metre square exhibit on the ground of the Unicredit pavilion created by Miguel Chevalier. The projection is affected by the user walking around, with different shapes and colours being created and affected by their motion.
