Abstract

The interactive installation "Berlin, Cyber City" is a city simulation, navigable via an aerial photograph of the urban space. It explores the use of interactive forms of presentation in the public space.
On a table lies a city plan, an aerial photograph of the actual city of Berlin. If you point to a particular place with your finger, or run it along a street, the spatial image of the city is displayed as a moving image on a large electronic screen on the wall. The interaction is made possible by a sensor on the user's finger. This sensor determines the position of the finger on the map and on the digital city model so that the perspectives on the video wall correspond in real time. The vertical video wall corresponds to the city façade and is also a plane of reference for the communication of the onlookers. They become active participants in the sense that they jointly determine the navigation through the city by means of their discussion.
