SonicTexting
Designer: Michal Rinott
Prototype: Edoardo Brambilla
Electronics: Massimo Banzi and Yaniv Steiner
StudioApe: Gianluca Alessio and Francesco Zannier

SonicTexting is a way of writing text - "texting" - using touch and sound. Like with musical instruments and with everyday mechanical objects, sound in SonicTexting is synchronous and responsive to gestures. Through touch and sound, interacting with digital devices can become an experience on the borders between a functional task, a musical instrument and a game.

Collabolla
Designers: Jennifer Bove, Simone Pia and Nathan Waterhouse
Prototype: Edoardo Brambilla
Electronic consultant: Massimo Banzi
StudioApe: Gianluca Alessio and Francesco Zannier

Collabolla is the first videogame where you have to sit astride a big inflatable ball (like the "Spacehopper" balls that were popular in the '70s) to send commands to the computer through your body movements. Another novelty is that the two players don't play against each other but co-ordinate with each other to combat a common enemy. That's how it gets its name �Collabolla� - expressing a spirit of collaboration rather than competition.

Tune Me
Designers: Line Ulrika Christiansen, Stefano Mirti and Stefano Testa (with Daniele Mancini and Francesca Sassaroli)
StudioApe: Gianluca Alessio and Francesco Zannier
Soundscapes: Raphael Monzini
Electronic consultant: Massimo Banzi

Tune Me is an immersive conceptual radio based upon tactile features. The sound (as well as the visual) is triggered by a number of 'touchy' interfaces. The visitors enter the ellipse-shaped space, immersing themselves in a new world where to listen to the radio waves. In this extent Tune Me is a representation of the ambient radio of the near future. As well as the sound, each channel provides light features as well as vibrating and pulsing experience. When choosing the different FM stations, the overall space changes, defining different moods upon the nature of the different content.
