The Ludic Couch - Field Study at Karlsplatz/Vienna

This is a summary of the Ludic Couch's evaluation that took place on June 12th 2011 at the beautiful Karlsplatz in Vienna. It is the second part of two videos; the first one about the field study is available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u_86sB3fjo

In the summer semester of 2011 a group of fabulous four people -- Eva Ganglbauer, Matej Nezveda, Paolo Federico and Georg Molzer -- had the idea to build a couch that is more than just furniture; it should have a consciousness, should interact with people and delight them by increasing communication and well-being itself. Having this couch in a living room or standing in a bar should make nearby people curious about what is going on; it should be a ludic experience to interact with the couch, excite to talk about it.
