Hometrainer

Interface Cultures
Interaction design for animals: a tiny rodent savoring the opportunity to get some exercise on its hamster wheel activates the installation’s interactive component. The movement of the hamster wheel is linked to a video that shows footage from the hamster’s perspective and thus enables the user to go for a virtual jog. Hometrainer is an ironic treatment of the mod-ern-day reduction of sport totraining far removed from nature in health clubs in which people run on treadmills while immersed in TV shows.
