Abstract

The interactive Poster as a medium represents an extension and repositioning of the commonly known and established printed poster.

It enriches the context of poster-prints with user-sensitive input and the display of dynamic content. Therefore it takes use of adequate methods of Human-Computer-Interaction technology and matching display-facilities.

The aim of this work is to establish the interactive poster as a medium as well as to explain an installation concerning everyday-perception of headline-news with the use of interactive posters.

In this installation typical elements of newspaper-design are shown in large-scaled prints together with interactive video-projections of newspaper-headlines. With a specially developed motiontracking-system the whole poster is transformed into an huge touch-screen and the user can directly interact with the installation in a physical way. Through easy drag-and-drop actions one can rearrange the words of the headlines forming new sentences and meanings. But just like our own perception is sometimes tricking us, the words change their meaning their self while being moved. They change their syntax as well as their optical appearance to leave the message of the poster under constant alteration.
