yeah for me as a polar it was also
yeah for me as a polar it was also challenge sort of also for us normally
challenge sort of also for us normally
challenge sort of also for us normally we built the installation at the place
we built the installation at the place
we built the installation at the place but this time he was thousand miles away
but this time he was thousand miles away
but this time he was thousand miles away so we must think about everything that
so we must think about everything that
so we must think about everything that others but this was that
others but this was that
others but this was that we create tools for others that they can
we create tools for others that they can
we create tools for others that they can use it for communication and for other
use it for communication and for other
use it for communication and for other things this kind of therapy for example
things this kind of therapy for example
things this kind of therapy for example I was I’d know the story always when a
I was I’d know the story always when a
I was I’d know the story always when a therapist or you see it in a movie talks
therapist or you see it in a movie talks
therapist or you see it in a movie talks to someone through a doll and to get to
to someone through a doll and to get to
to someone through a doll and to get to to get through him that he reacts now
to get through him that he reacts now
to get through him that he reacts now this is he is using our tool to get to
this is he is using our tool to get to
this is he is using our tool to get to communicate with the patient this is
communicate with the patient this is
communicate with the patient this is amazing and but and we were very excited
amazing and but and we were very excited
amazing and but and we were very excited because at the moment there is a pilot
because at the moment there is a pilot
because at the moment there is a pilot project that is monitoring the results
project that is monitoring the results
project that is monitoring the results of using these tools with patients and
of using these tools with patients and
of using these tools with patients and only the idea that something we started
only the idea that something we started
only the idea that something we started very spontaneously cool have also let’s
very spontaneously cool have also let’s
very spontaneously cool have also let’s call it the social impact or an impact
call it the social impact or an impact
call it the social impact or an impact the positive one for us is very exciting
the positive one for us is very exciting
the positive one for us is very exciting and what one is about giving tools that
and what one is about giving tools that
and what one is about giving tools that can be used another application is in
can be used another application is in
can be used another application is in theater and so how can we also create
theater and so how can we also create
theater and so how can we also create dynamics between the audience and the
dynamics between the audience and the
dynamics between the audience and the actor and how a tool should be designed
actor and how a tool should be designed
actor and how a tool should be designed in order to give freedom to improvise
in order to give freedom to improvise
in order to give freedom to improvise the actor but also created this unusual
the actor but also created this unusual
the actor but also created this unusual combination in this summer residence in
combination in this summer residence in
combination in this summer residence in the show gouda berlin we develop several
the show gouda berlin we develop several
the show gouda berlin we develop several tools and we tested different ideas and
tools and we tested different ideas and
tools and we tested different ideas and we show you just a couple two actually
we show you just a couple two actually
we show you just a couple two actually so one is a similar concept to what
so one is a similar concept to what
so one is a similar concept to what happens in the box bringing an object
happens in the box bringing an object
happens in the box bringing an object the audience can bring an object into
the audience can bring an object into
the audience can bring an object into the box and the object would appear and
the box and the object would appear and
the box and the object would appear and obviously be animated large life scaled
obviously be animated large life scaled
obviously be animated large life scaled on the stage and so the actor could
on the stage and so the actor could
on the stage and so the actor could improvise and react to what was
improvise and react to what was
improvise and react to what was happening with the audience and the
happening with the audience and the
happening with the audience and the another interesting application is when
another interesting application is when
another interesting application is when we built a digital avatar of real puppet
we built a digital avatar of real puppet
we built a digital avatar of real puppet the white one with which an actor could
the white one with which an actor could
the white one with which an actor could actually interact with yes technologies
actually interact with yes technologies
actually interact with yes technologies a lot of things to look for in research
a lot of things to look for in research
a lot of things to look for in research and for us we are always very interested
and for us we are always very interested
and for us we are always very interested to see the connection between a behavior

octopus that turns into a giant sea
octopus that turns into a giant sea monster also again is it’s always to try
monster also again is it’s always to try
monster also again is it’s always to try to see if the technology can actually
to see if the technology can actually
to see if the technology can actually support new behaviors and new ideas also
support new behaviors and new ideas also
support new behaviors and new ideas also for example you are technology when can
for example you are technology when can
for example you are technology when can be interested when this becomes for
be interested when this becomes for
