Product Description
Product Description
Thanks to the omnipresence of computers, cell phones, gaming systems, and the internet, a broad audience has traded its past reservations against technology for an almost insatiable curiosity for all things technical. Against this background, unprecedented new tools and possibilities are opening up for the world of design. In addition to sketchbooks and computers, young designers are increasingly using programming languages, soldering irons, sensors, and microprocessors as well as 3D milling or rapid prototyping machines in their work. The innovative use of powerful hardware and software has become affordable and, most of all, much easier to use. Today, the sky is the limit when it comes to ideas for experimental media, unconventional interfaces, and interactive spatial experiences. A Touch of Code shows how information becomes experience. The book examines how surprising personal experiences are created where virtual realms meet the real world and where dataflow confronts the human senses. It presents an international spectrum of interdisciplinary projects at the intersection of laboratory, trade show, and urban space that play with the new frontiers of perception, interaction, and staging created by current technology. These include brand and product presentations as well as thematic exhibits, architecture, art, and design. The comprehensive spectrum of innovative spatial and interactive work in A Touch of Code reveals how technology is fundamentally changing and expanding strategie

Ultra current, 25 Aug 2011
By Christoph D. Coleman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Touch of Code: Interactive Installations and Experiences (Hardcover)
Being in this particular field myself, it is great to have a book that is so starkly current, largely devoted to projects over the past 0-5 years. It is a wonderful resource as an artist who wants to know the full breadth of the field, with insight into works I have only been able to see blips about. As an educator it gives a great span of works to bring to the classroom. Brilliant job!

Inspiring Clash of Hardware and Software, 14 Jun 2011
By dailynathan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Touch of Code: Interactive Installations and Experiences (Hardcover)
My girlfriend bought me a copy of this as a birthday present. She thought it would help me to relax, but the stuff in here is just mind-blowing. Now I'm thinking of how to recreate it all... The book is full of one mash-up after the other of how hardware and software work together in so many different ways. And all of it is changing the way we live, work, experience, feel... Not just for geeks and nerds, this shows how cool (or should I say "übercool"?) technology is nowadays. I'd highly recommend picking up a copy of this (unless you want to sleep!).

An excellent overview of responsive environments, 8 Oct 2011
By D. Steel - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Touch of Code: Interactive Installations and Experiences (Hardcover)
This is a beautiful book, much better that I was expecting. The represented installations cover the genre, with a nice mix of recent and older installations, and US and Europe. There isn't a lot of wordy detail (you can track down that info yourself) but the photography is gorgeous. Highly recommended and a pleasure to thumb through.
Listmania!
