The Plus Fours Routefinder was designed to be worn on the wrist, and the “maps” were printed on wooden rollers which were turned manually while driving. The device was intended to allow drivers to navigate around the UK, but with so few cars on the roads it never really took off. (x)
The basic idea of the project is built upon the consideration of creating
a moving sculpture from the recorded motion data of a real person. For
our work we asked a dancer to visualize a musical piece (Kreukeltape by
Machinenfabriek) as closely as possible by movements of her body. She was
recorded by three depth cameras (Kinect), in which the intersection of the
images was later put together to a three-dimensional volume (3d point cloud),
so we were able to use the collected data throughout the further process.

Kinect controlled Interface
Kreek is a Kinect controlled interface which extends a normally
two-dimensional multi-touch environment by the perception of depth.
This allows the user to literally reach into the interface and gives
applications the possibility to interprete parameters like pressure or
solid distance.
