The Lega

Result under "Designing Supple Systems"

In early 2010 the Lega prototype, a system for bodily sharing of experiences, was successfully deployed at the Vårsalongen art exhibit at Liljevalchs art hall in Stockholm. The development work on the Lega, and user studies performed on-site at the art hall, has yielded results including technological innovation in the area of low-power radio communication, increased understanding of design for bodily interaction, and finally insights into the challenges of designing with digital materials. A lesson learnt in the Lega work was that multi disciplinary design teams need novel approaches for exploring, understanding, and mediating properties of digital materials to create a shared understanding of properties and their design potential within the design team.
