The typical city is an organic and complex structure, grown upon interactions made in small scale. The 'ad-hoc network' seems to be the right diagrammatic instrument to describe the city's self-organizational behavior; the concept of order that emerges out of objects' interaction rather than be forced upon objects.         Image   n.diniz@ucl.ac.uk nancy.diniz@iscte.pt www.city-of-gestures.com   Exploring natural ways of interacting with virtual space. The challenge is to bring a highly responsive system where a user can experience virtual environments to a level which could be used to interpret her/his gestures and modify itself according to her/his desires. Gestures activating actions would change geometry, on a constant basis. Real time changing form creates new dimensions to human-computer interaction, based in reconfigurable dialogues made of dynamic surfaces. keywords     Gesture recognition/Tangible interfaces Image   s.hanna@cs.ucl.ac.uk seanhanna@f2s.com   This fantasy garden is an infinite ground plane on which plants grow, decay and eventually die. It can be viewed and manipulated at the scale of a plant on the ground, the macroscopic scale of the entire field, or the microscopic scale of the genes in individual cells.         Image   j.hudson-powell@ucl.ac.uk jody@atreewithin.com   The basis of my project was to visualise information that has no physical presence other than that of its fact or effects. The relationships visualised are that of blood, of trade, authority and agency between the inhabitants of any given space. These stand to form a quite broad range of relationships. We are in constant relation with a multitude of spaces at any one time. We are present within physical, mental, and digital spheres and in many forms and in many combinations. This project aims to create a system to bring non-visual information about our environment and the people that occupy it into our visual range and not just a mental state of perception. I would like the system to inform the users of information present within a given context but that cannot conventionally be seen or to a greater level be understood.         Image   j.hwang@ucl.ac.uk   The notion of urban phenomena is dynamic changing and beyond the description. Hence, this project tried to explore possibilities of contemporary urban condition and generate self-equilibrium moving cities by c++ program. Only interacting with the city revives the meaning of it. keywords     Fragmentation/ Transformation/ Overlapping/ Evolving Image   ji.kang@ucl.ac.uk jikang68@yahoo.com   From the book Invisible Cities, the blueprint of city Thekla is stars in the sky.

In a city, overall physical structure is simply the result of social and ecomic forces occuring within it. In 3DSnake structure is a byproduct of gameplay. As this structure grows it alters what is possible within the environment, constricting and influencing options for future process and growth.         Image   j.talisman@ucl.ac.uk talisman_j@yahoo.com   A system that generate a virtual environment based on the structure of a given text.

Or it is an invisible city but it is actually alive in our memory. With the basis of the city, there is an open net weaved by space, time and events, exchanging memory, identity and life.         Image
