Robotic Geese are remote controlled goose robots that enable participants or robotic goose drivers (aka goosers) to interact with actual geese in urban contexts. The robotic goose interface allows people to approach the birds, follow them closely and interact in a variety of ways that would not otherwise be possible without this interface. (more…) |

The rhinoceros beetle wrestling devise is a head-and-body mounted display, that equips human beings with the appendages required to interact with a male Rhinoceros Beetle. The strongest animal in the world, the Rhinoceros Beetle can lift 30 times its weight. So, in addition to scaling us to the beetle’s proportions, the wrestling device evens the playing field, by granting us similar manipulative capacities. It is an architecture of reciprocity, an interface for human and animal interaction on a equal basis. (more…) |

OOZ proposes two distinct interfaces to the bats, to facilitate interaction in their two distinct periods of activity. At night the bats rely on echolocation; however during the day while roosting they use often quite audible communication and are highly social mammals.
