Freaklabs: Joint Artists and Developers Technology Design and Evaluation

Every new technology needs a tryout in practice. Apart from user tests it is often difficult to prepare a new and immature technology for real use cases. To pave the way for a new technology to practical use we have experimented with artists and developers playing with the technology in a controlled lab sessions (Freaklabs).
