Experiment

What would it like to be in a piece of art? By using Virtual Reality, Bit Playground let you experience the world inside the two most famous works of art: Guernica by Pablo Picasso and The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali.

BIT.HACK.WEEK is one of the ways we actively promote innovation through experimentation around the company. This year, our team did some amazing projects and here are the list.

• BIT.CAMERA: a custom-made camera housing that allows a low-cost webcam to be able to use a c-mount lens.
• MAKE.SHIFT.DYNAMO: using a simple motor to create a dynamo that can light up multiple LEDs.
• BIT.SMART.SIGN: our company sign that can change the blacklight color using a mobile phone. It even has a SIM card so that a visitor can call our office!
• ROBOT.FRIEND: a friendly running-around robot that has two LEDs as their eyes and a speaker to talk to other people.
• TURN.A.BIT: an interactive project that using an IKEA turntable serving plate as an input to control the animal image that is projected on to it. The faster you turn, the faster animal will run. The cool part is you can change the animal via LINE app, a messenging app, by chatting with our custom-made chatbot.
• BIT.REMOTE: Using our custom-made chatbot, users can turn on/off the A/C and TV in our office via LINE app.
• WATER.LAMP: Controlling the intensity of light by pouring the water into the lamp.

Edge Blending is one of the many research projects that Bit Studio has been focusing on. We have all been having problems with setting up multiple projectors to show one seamless image/video. We recently have bought an expensive projector with an edge blending function, but it is still very difficult to set up. Now, with our new edge blending module, we can set up multiple projectors at once to display a single image/video on the wall.

BIT.BALLOON is an interactive installation that allows users to control a virtual balloon’s open flame, making it buoyant, just by turning a knob.

Have you ever imagined being able to control your R/C car, using your hand as the controller? Check out this video and see how we did it using a Leap motion controller and Arduino.

Bit Studio is continuously improving in the field of Augmented Reality in Thailand. We normally focus on developing interactive applications on digital out-of-home media. However, we are now expanding our market to the mobile platform. This teaser will show you the AR App we had been recently working. If you are interesting in working with this technology, please feel free to contact us.

One Coke bottle. One projector. Here is a sample of Bit Studio’s projection mapping project.

How would you like to take a peek at another dimension? Put on our glasses and experience it with your own eyes. BIT.GLASS is one of the hardware/software kits that we have researched and developed ourselves. The screen is blank without the aid of our glasses. Once they come on, different images will appear on the screen. This technology is suitable for interactive booths, museum installations and many other great activities! Contact us for more information.

Bit Table is an interactive table researched and developed by our team. Users can pick up any piece of paper and hold it over the table, which our system will then project an image on. We use a sensor to detect the height of the paper, allowing our application to do things, such as zoom in and out of an image, or control the object on the screen by moving the paper around. Check out this teaser clip to see how it works.
