End users must perceive content, messages and emotions, not a technical demonstration. Gimme More show is the winner of International Design Festival Berlin Award and was presented In several prestigious locations, like Eyebeam, NYC and the Royal College of Art in London. Based on a research project, it is constantly evolving and comes to AWE 2014 with five installations. With a constant and key focus: to better understand perception principles of an emerging media bridging the real and the virtual worlds, and to create unique narrative and interaction principles for AR.

The Art Installations will be presented during the AWE Expo on May 28-29th, 2014 in room 201 on the 2nd floor at the Santa Clara Convention Center.

Gimme More is curated by Nicolas Henchoz Director of EPFL+ECAL Lab.

He is the founder and director of the EPFL+ECAL Lab in Switzerland, a bridge between the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), and the University of Art and Design, Lausanne (ECAL). He has developed new strategies to turn emerging technologies into user experience through design exploration. His new book “Design for Innovative Technology” (Routledge, 2014) unveils his approach for disruptive innovation through several projects and more theoretical aspects, including perception, history and sociology. The EPFL+ECAL Lab research program on augmented reality is presented to the public through a constantly evolving exhibition called Gimme More. Featured at Eyebeam (NYC), The Royal College of Art ( London), Siggraph Asia or the Designer’s Days in Paris, it is the winner of the International Design Festival, Berlin. The research program creates visual, interactive and narrative principles to establish AR as a real media, in collaboration with the Computer Vision Laboratory of EPFL. Nicolas Henchoz has been appointed as Chevalier des arts et des lettres de la république Française, by French Minister of Culture and Communications.
