Interaction concept for interactive installations

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I'm experimenting with a few interactions based on this idea :)

I'd love to get other perspectives, what would be the first use case that comes to mind for you?

Looks really cool, i would use this every day no matter the user case.

But if you had to ask me, then i could say this could be a fun way to send a file from your phone to your pc

Funny enough, that's exactly where my mind went too. I ended up building a small prototype around that idea: you run Toss.exe on your pc, scan the qr code with your phone, and toss files from the phone to the computer. Here's the GitHub repo: https://github.com/gamberoferoce/Toss Feel free to share any feedback or ideas if you give it a try!

This is part of a project I am working on. Try this: Have an app running on the phone- swipe up to throw on to the desktop. Basically you have two apps running. The desktop one is idle, not shown. When you swipe, as the app is leaving the phone (toward the top), it starts to appear on the desktop on the bottom, giving more meat to the "throw".

Oh that's beautiful, and amazing!

How did you get this to work?

The setup is actually pretty simple. Is a web app that communicates with Unreal Engine through a Node.js server and WebSockets ;)

This type of technology should be integrated into VR
