CubeBrowser: browsing your pictures in 3 dimension

(Yahoo Design Week) – The CubeBrowser is a project coming from the Academy of Media Arts of Cologne. The concept is to have a six-display cube with high-res screens that enables the user to browse online photo databases. The photo shows the prototype I tested at the Yahoo Design Week: the screens are simulated on the monitor and the cube is used as a controller.

The goal is to navigate photos using tags: when moving the cube on the horizontal axis the user sees tagged with the same keyword, turning it on the vertical axis brings images with new tags (up) or already visited ones (down).

Charlotte Krauss, Andreas Muxel, Ludwig Zeller designed it with Prof. Frans Vogelaar and Prof. Zilvinas Lilas. For more information, go to the website: cubebrowser.openkhm.de
