DOODLE

TUC TIE Lab Urban Experiment

TIE Lab Doodle is an application that allows any projection mapping façade to be turned into an interactive painting canvas. It uses a combination of a mobile and a desktop application in server‐client architecture.

• The desktop application (server) is running on the computer that controls the projection mapping software.

• The mobile application (client) runs on an android phone or tablet and provides the functionality and tools to draw.

With this combination of mobile application, desktop application and projection mapping software the user is able to interactively draw on any surface/façade.
This project has high interactivity and engagement levels.

The urban installation took place in April 2019, in a public square at the Venetian old port of Chania. This urban setting is ideal since Katehaki square is located between two similarly sized buildings. An open invitation for local kids resulted in a high concentration of children of various ages. An 8-inch android tablet was given to the young participants and a researcher from the TIE Lab TUC instructed them on how to operate the application.
