Design, prototypes, and related documentation
1996 - 2012
Series
Series 1, Design, prototypes, and related documentation, 1996 - 2006, documents the conceptualization, design, and testing of the HypoSurface project. This includes approximately 2,200 digital design files, a three-square metre Hyposurface wall module, 44 prototype pieces, and a small amount of textual documentation.
The digital files in this series contain the bulk of the documentation on the conceptualization and design of the Hyposurface project. Much of this material is richly visual, including still and video concept renderings; images, animations, and drawings of related projects like HypoStage, HypoFloor, HypoFlex, and HypoVoxel; and drawings for prototype “squids” (actuators with rubber covering). The digital files also include material that is more textual in nature, particularly the administrative files for the project, a technical dossier, as well as patent documentation (relating to the physical textual documentation).Notably, the digital materials also include interactive software, called the Aegis Simulator, which allows the user to interact with a rendering of the HypoSurface wall, mimicking the wall’s real-life behavior.
Digital formats in this series reflect the range of CAD, still image, and textual documentation present. Notably, there are a significant number of CAD formats present, including AutoCAD, 3DM, DIFF, and IGES formats, consisting of almost 400 total files.
The physical component of this series contains a functional three-square metre HypoSurface wall module, as well as 44 other assorted prototype pieces. The prototypes include eight surface pieces in both metal and rubber, two sample actuators, and thirty-four smaller, miscellaneous pieces.
This series is arranged in rough chronological order.
Sort by:
Label: "DECOI BACKUP FILES AEGIS" parts 1-2. Most common file formats: Truevision TGA Bitmap, JPEG File Interchange Format, OLE2 Compound Document Format, Windows Portable Executable, Unidentified.
1 File
Many files were incorrectly identified as OLE2 Compound Document format; these files will open in 3DS Max. Some external references in some 3DS Max files are missing. Files with the .bip and .fig file extensions appear to be related to 3DS Max plug-ins. They were not able to be opened at the time of processing and it is unclear how to access their content.
These materials originally appeared on two separate CDs and were brought together due to overlapping content.

Some files appear to relate to those in AP170.S1.01. Label: "Hippodrome Animations, all animations and max files/afterfx" and "DECOI BACKUP FILES AEGIS part 3." Original directory name: "1999-2". Most common file formats: Windows Bitmap, Audio/Video Interleaved Format, OLE2 Compound Document Format, Tagged Image File Format, Adobe After Effects.
1 File
The Adobe After Effects files would not launch in the 2017 version; it is unclear what version of the software is needed. Some external references are missing for some of the 3DS Max 3D models; these can be at least partially accessed in Autodesk 3DS Max 2015.
These two directories were from two different CDs and were packaged together due to their overlapping content.
