The “Polygon Playground” is a large scale interactive lounge object. It offers room for up to 40 persons at a time to walk, sit and explore its multifaceted surfaces. Gradient ramps guide to the top plateau or offer space to sit and rest. The installation features a software aided 3D surface projection system to cover the object with a seamless 360 degree projection mapping. An additional sensory system detects peoples positions and proximity.
The visual appearance of the “Polygon Playground” changes continously with the presence, movements and touches of its visitors. The object detects the positions and directions of people and reacts with evolving visual moods and graphic styles.
If you like this, you’ll probably also want to see Pablo Valbuena’s work, without the interactive part though.

Last weekend, Greg Lynn Form won the Golden Lion for the Best Installation Project in the International Exhibition at the Architecture Biennale in Venice, for his Recycled Toy Furniture designs. I wouldn’t be surprised to see something like this in the Ikea children’s department.
