Ambient Façades
Media façades, realized through projection systems, could be a promising technology for scalable public displays in urban spaces. With low requirements regarding the infrastructure and virtually no influence on the building's fabric, projected façades offer exceptional flexibility and extensibility as well as easy maintenance. As cities are increasingly confronted with digital signage products besides other public display systems, a projector based system offers the possibility to be switched off and restore the screen to its previous state in the blink of an eye.
The ambient façades framework is a software architecture for annotating building façades with adaptive multimedia content, leveraging the façade's structure and ornamentation for dynamically adapting pieces of multimedia content.
