Snowflake goodness from Karsten Schmidt and Daniel Hirschmann
You all know Karsten Schmidt and Daniel Hirschmann right? Both of them came at UID this Fall and taught respectively Advanced Programming and Interaction Lighting to IxD2 students. Well, here is their latest work for TBWA London, an interaction Snowflake Chandelier, made with 3D paper snowflakes. See the quick video below.
That’s sweet, but what is even nicer is that they came up with a little java applet online to create, cut and build your own personalized snowflake. You can try this awesomeness at makeasnowflakeyours.com. Despite the apparent simplicity of it, there is great coding behind the scene. You can discover more how this project came about at CAN, and see the geometry work elaborated by Karsten. Really nice work guys!
