Wind 3.0

Wind 3.0
Wind 3.0 is an interactive wall feature comprised by hundreds of fibers which respond to a viewer’s presence based on a connection between electronic sensors and ventilators. Wind 3.0 moves with the viewer—when there is a lot of activity the wall makes large fluid motions, while in other circumstances...
