Abstract

Hubscape is a spatial ambient visualization installation developed by a group of undergraduate students in a studio-led course unit. It uses standard home automation hardware and multiple multimedia projections to display real-time, abstract datasets in physical space. The system extracts electronic and sensorial data in real time to generate data-driven atmospheres in space through electrically controlled devices and visual projections. Hubscape is aesthetically integrated into a computer lab hub room's architecture to unobtrusively reflect nearby electronic and human activities, such as network traffic, timetable information, and temperature, motion and sound measurements.
