Hi, we're GeekPhysical and we like to play with technology. We use technology to create interactive experiences, installations, happenings, or playful rendezvous. We combine Interaction Design with Experience Design with Engineering to invent incredibly memorable experiences.

1. Capacitive touch sensitive
pumpkin, lights when
touched. Halloween project.

2. Bringing tangible computing and rapid prototyping
into the world of interaction design.
GeekPhysical brings people
together with technology; literally.
We focus on:
Tangible computing
Rapid prototyping
Biometrics
Robotics
Pyrotechnics
Sensing the physical world, and
interacting with it.

3. Projects we’ve done, or
are doing...

4. Measuring Galvanic
Skin Response (GSR)
and heart rate.
GSR shows as blue for
excited, white for calm.
Heart rate is data
logged for both bride
and groom throughout
the day.

5. Visitors had the
opportunity to join
strangers and get
hooked up to heart
rate, galvanic skin
response and gaze
detectors.
Visitors then tried to
create social moments
and interactions as a
result of their bio-
interactions.

6. As a person's heart
rate rises, the corset
will tighten,
automatically ensuring
the practice of standing
up taller by tightening
the stomach and
enhancing the chest.
This indicates to the
wearer, before they are
cognitively aware, that
they are attracted to
someone.

7. ONLY Jeans asked event
organizer Zep to create a
giant ball of jeans to
promote their brand.
GeekPhysical built the
electronics for the project
and found a way to
attach and release the
1500 pairs of jeans to a
giant metal ball
commissioned for the
event.

8. Fun for a summer’s day.
We hooked up rc planes
with laser pointers and
created a game where
planes shoot at people
on the ground wearing
sensors, and people on
the ground shoot at the
plane.
Laser tag in a whole new
dimension!

9. 64 LEDs light
individually to portray a
photograph being
displayed across them.

10. Giant tesla coil! Fun
with high voltage.

11. We also work
with Illutron.
Much of the work we do is in
collaboration with Illutron, an
arts collective in Denmark.
The following projects are with
Illutron.

12. Dzl helped Illutron to design and
build a jet engine type combuster
“thermo jet” to generate
approximately 150kw of
superheated air that evaporates
mass amounts of diesel fuel.
The evaporated fuel is released and
burned in a giant jet of flame.
Goddesses worshipped the fire and
were touch-reactive using
theremins to interact with the
audience and lighting up when
touched.

13. N7331227 is an old
robot, reverse
engineered and re-
imagined to become
part of Brandts Art
Museum in
Denmark.
Using computer
vision, the robot saw
drawings done by
visitors and redrew
them by pressing
buttons which then
lit a large light bulb
wall.

14. The Singing Plant
was a project using
a theremin to cause
a plant to ‘sing’
when touched as
designed by Mads
Høbye.
The plant was given
an upgrade, and
now sings by
detecting a change
in capacitance, and
processes the
resulting change
through guitar
reverbs, using an
advanced Arduino
synth made by
GeekPhysical.

15. How do you
approach someone
at a night club?
In an effort to
facilitate contact
between people at a
night club, we
created a need for
people to
communicate: to
clarify a confusing
situation.
We switched the
toilet signs in a night
club every 7 times
the doors were
opened or closed.
Chaos and
communication
emerged from
critical design.

16. Creating a large
scale interactive
installation for
Europe’s largest
music festival was
no small feat!
Working with Half
Machine and
8bitKlubben, we
created an explosion
village.
Visitors could drum
a beat, working
together to reach a
climax and cause a
huge gas explosion
of flame and noise
which overpowered
even the massive
concerts going on
around it.

17. Ever wondered what
a barcode sounds
like? We did.
This project begin
with a late night of
inspirational
brainstorming and
has progressed to
become a cultural
catalyst for
members of a youth
hip hop group in
Malmo.
Barcodes contain
beats, music, and
vocal tracks and
when a barcode is
scanned, sound is
produced.

18. Workshops

19. In our workshops, hands on learning means
everyone learns enough about electricity, wiring,
sensors, micro computing, motors, switches, lights,
and many other fantastic interfaces so they can go
home with the necessary tools to keep exploring.

20. Participants quickly develop the skills necessary to
begin exploration on their own, and progress to
creative problem solving within the workshop period.

21. Large groups...

22. Medium groups...

23. Small groups...

24. Even blind groups!
Small groups.

25. We’d like to meet new
groups, also exploring:
Interaction Design
Tangible Computing
Micro Computing
Biometrics
...
and that sort of thing.
