Project ALICE

This is a cultural computing project and not just another interactive installation!

From the narrative of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, we chose six stages, each represents a chapter or part of it, and built one of the world biggest mixed reality installation. From start to end the user undergoes immersion that consists of real and nature mimicking, virtual and augmented reality in such situations which demands the user to question him/her self and their logic and Western reasoning. A new form of presence and user experience will emerge!

This project is conducted at the Designed Intelligence Group of the Department of Industrial Design at the Eindhoven University of Technology, supported by Microsoft Research in Cambridge (UK), the Department of Industrial Design and Department of Electrical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology.

Background information

With the introduction of the computer, its usage in a broad perspective has been under investigation. Originated from computer science but gradually created its own field named Human Computer Interaction with the integration of other related disciplines such as computer graphics, human factors, ergonomics, industrial engineering, cognitive psychology. Since the 60s there have been some major paradigms that can be discriminate in its evolvement: 1. personal computing, 2. cooperative computing, 3. social computing and 4. cultural computing. The role of the computer has changed dramatically with demanded from the field to come with solutions. The first paradigm is the Personal Computing with its user-system relations. With the implementation of the networked computer, the second paradigm is cooperative computing via rich interactive multimedia. This advanced into the third paradigm, social computing paradigm with community mediated interaction, with applications such as Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and the Internet with its communities. Last decade arise concepts e.g. mobile, normadic and ubiquitous technology with focus on personalized and intimate interaction both with positive experiences. Leaving the computer as main objective and point of attention but apply its functions by using it as a tool. Shared commonalities in these are 1. disappearing computer, 2. ease of use and positive experience and 3. building communities.

Inspired by the work on the ZENetic computer of Naoko Tosa and Seigow Matsuoka (2003), Ryohei Nakatsu, Matthias Rauterberg and Benjamin Salem (2006) proposed a new paradigm for HCI, cultural computing which is based on Kansei Mediated Interaction. The latter is a form of multimedia communication that carries non-verbal, emotional and Kansei information (e.g. unconscious information). It is a combination of Kansei Communication (i.e., ‘content’) and Kansei Media (i.e., ‘form’). The main research objectives in Kansei Mediated Interaction are the underlying almost unconscious cultural determinants (see also Salem & Rauterberg, 2005; Rauterberg, 2009). The research arena on Cultural Computing is opened.
