Yep, that’s right – we’re on the lookout for talented designers, programmers and/or artists to support our team starting this september.
If you’re a student of interaction design, information design, media art or a related field, we’d love to hear from you.

> Developer Objective-C (iPhone)

> Developer Flash

Specifically we’re looking for digital designers with the will and the skills to make design happen rather than just talk about it. You will be working on things like interactive installation, interfaces and mobile applications. We are design studio which will give you the chance to work in every step of the creation process from first concept to final production.

Most of our projects involve a fair amount of programming work, so it’s important that you know how to create functioning prototypes yourself no matter if you prefer flash, processing, vvvv and/or arduino as your favourite tool.

If you are interested, just send an email with a link to your portfolio to jobs@envis-precisely.com

P.S. If you want more information on how it feels to be an intern at envis precisely, you can of course ask our current interns Stefan and Patricia.

I’ve recently been interviewed by Arata Sasaki from the Japanese Hitspaper. We talked about our projects, our design process and our views on the world as designers in general. Make sure to check out the whole piece here! It’s in English and Japanese.

Hey kids! Your new favorite app has arrived at Apples App Store! We call it iScraper and it is our first submission to the store.

So, what does it do, you ask? iScraper is a fun little application that lets you view the worlds ten tallest buildings in a fascinating new way. Just move your device up to see the top of a building. Move it back down to return to the ground. Then just tilt your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad in order to switch to the next image.

You can get it now for free on the App Store.

Barely a week has passed since the Deutsche Museum opened up the gates to our latest project, the brand new ZNT (Center for New Technologies). This week the Museum published this »Making of« Clip. Can you imagine that it looked quite like that one week before the opening? With a hundred of willing hands working there and some serious sleep deprivation the exhibition could open in time.

My former project partner Jens Franke (right) and me (left) are nominated for this years Design Award of the Federal Republic Germany. This Award is the country‘s highest distinction in the field of design. It is known as the »Prize of Prizes«. The reason: no other design award sets such strict criteria on entries. We were nominated by the Bavarian Ministry of State for Economics and Technology which is one of the preconditions for the price. At the end of November we expect a result from the judges. The winner will receive price money and gets the possibility to show some projects at the exhibition Ambiente at Frankfurt. We’ll keep our fingers crossed…

Not long ago, we announced that Phil will be holding two classes at HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd in the coming term. Now we couldn’t be happier to confirm that Markus and Phil will also be lecturing at the FH Joanneum in Graz – the very university both graduated from.

There will be one evening lecture and a two day workshop. Both are titled »Code = Design«, meaning that we will explore the variety of ways in which programmed patterns can enhance, facilitate or just speed up different kinds of design processes. We’re going to talk about generative design for screen, print and installations as well as about prototyping and hacking. For details have a look at our Flyer.

While the workshop is specifically targeted to students in their first term, the lecture will be open to anyone including non students. So if you are around Graz on October 16, make sure to drop by at Alte Poststraße 152 – it’s free! Lecture will start at 18:15, so be punctually.

The official paper of the chemieraum project can be downloaded at the famous ACM digital library. The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), was founded in 1947 as the world’s first scientific and educational computing society. The digital library holds up to 70% percent of all papers which are relevant for research projects in the field of Interaction Design.

Thanks to the haptICS research group (MA Götz Wintergerst & MA Ron Jagodzinski) and the HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd for the help.

This week we officially announce the expansion of our team. Markus Jaritz (left) joined the envis precisely GbR. Thomas Gläser (middle) and Philipp E. Sackl (right) expect more flexibility and speed to complete future projects. Additionally the process of decision making will be easier with three people.

You might remember our early blog entry about the collaborative artwork webproject called susn.cc. Finally we managed it to get our reserved place filled. Our 300 x 300 pixel graphic features the teddy bear from the conrad electronics ad which is followed by many evil fighter jets spraying colorful smoke while a little Elvis Presley is singing his song and Air Envis Precisely is rushing by. Holy moly!
