Interaction with Media Facades
Journal Informatik Spektrum Special Issue "Interaction Beyond the Desktop" Springer, London 2014.

Media faades are a prominent example of the digital augmentation of urban spaces. They denote the concept of turning the surface of a building into a large-scale urban screen. Due to their enormous size, they require interaction at a distance and they have a high level of visibility. Additionally, they are situated in a highly dynamic urban en- vironment with rapidly changing conditions, which results in settings that are neither comparable, nor reproducible. Altogether, this makes the development of interactive media faade installations a challenging task.
