Hirngespinster is the final project of Tristan Hohne to graduate from University of Applied Sciences Dortmund in Germany. Tristan describes it as a tangible user interface which combines the analogue book with the digital world. Hirngespinst is one of those German words which might make it into an English dictionary one day. I would roughly translate it as phantasy-driven fixation.

And as Tristan’s Hirngespinste find their way into your head, he shows a nice way to make print and digital interact – whenever Hirngespinster are seen on a book page, the viewer can interact by catching them. Once caught, an animation lets you get an inside look from the affected point of view.

Nice one, Tristan (thx Helge for the link).
