At first glance, “SWITCH” looks like an ordinary picture applied to slats (like a closed venetian blind). But a small sensor inside the picture frame registers every sound and movement nearby. When it’s activated, the slats flip as if by magic and reveal a different picture. “SWITCH” is the outcome of a collaborative R&D project conducted by the Ars Electronica Futurelab and ELEKIT. It lets users experiment with experience design and playfully get a feel for the work done by interaction designers on a daily basis.
