QRCodes Make Building Transparent
In a mashup between some of my favourite sexy technologies, Qosmo and architects teradadesign have transformed Tachikawa’s N Building into a QR-branded, augmented, fishtank of an building.
The building’s facade is imprinted with QRCodes that when scanned with a AR program allows viewers to peek inside the building and see animated versions of the movements and activities of those inside. People inside the building are tracked via GPS and their tweets are transformed into thought balloons hovering over their heads.
