Electronic Mirror
The interactive installation Electronic Mirror was realized in
co-operation with the business segments Micro Scanner Devices and
Sensor & Actuator Systems. The core of the artwork is the Laser
Projection Module developed by Fraunhofer IPMS. This "Mini
Video Projector in the size of a matchbox" works on the basis
of laser as source of light and micro scanner scanning mirrors.
The projector is connected with a camera that centres on the viewer.
The image of the person is projected on an opposite screen. A mirror
image, the symbol of human self perception and self cognition is
generated with the help of electronic instruments.
The screen slides inear on the axis of the projection. The movement
is navigated by a ultrasonic detector and reacts to the movements
of the viewer. The images is constantly sharp since it is generated
by the Laser Projection Module without optical lenses. The distance
between the Module and the screen doesn´t affect sharpness.

Lifetime
The Project was realized in co-operation with the business segment
Lifetronics of Fraunhofer IPMS. It applies innovative and new developed
solutions in the field of mobile cardiovascular monitoring.
On suggestion of REINIGUNGSGESELLSCHAFT the mobile ECG-Electronic
was worn by selected people from different professional groups in
their all day life for 24 hours. In the process the three channel
long term ECG was registered and the haert rate was derived.
In a series of resulting image tables the recorded data is depicted
on a time axis. In combination appear photographs made by the participants
themselves. Those images show the perspective of the people on their
own environment. In addition to their protocolic notices on the
daily routine appear significant statements made in retrospective
interviews about their work- and lifestyle.
The result brings up a comparability of the different daily routines
of various professional groups. (shop assistant, manager, long term
unemployed, clerk, permanent employee) It visualises the risks and
stress factors of varied occupations and social milieus.
