NO_THING is an "infrared light framework that turns (almost) anything into a device". It was made by the Innovation Lab of Milla & Partner GmbH which is a German interaction and spatial design agency. It turns physical objects into interactive displays. It uses proximity related point and click gestures as well as drag and drop or spatial ones. I chose this project because of the interaction between the user and the environment. I really like how you can lift of a piece of paper to select something on a wall in front of you, or create buildings from the ground up on your floor. It's like a big-scale augmented reality device. They did really well with eliminating as much technology as possible. Their mission was to create a "smart-space" without having to lug around too much hardware. They did this well by utilizing light and something called an "OptiTrack IR camera". One practical use I see for this would be replacing screens like in futuristic movies.
