The idea of Minecraft 4D was to extend the virtual experience of a computer game with a physical one. A friend and I converted an old hairdressing chair into an interactive gaming chair equipped with fans, heat lamps, a water sprayer, a sand blower and an odour dispenser. The game is then played with self-printed joysticks and a sewing machine pedal on the chair in a walk-in Minecraft cube. By making a few modifications to the game, various data is captured and sent to the chair, which then controls the units. For example, if you are in the desert in Minecraft, the heat lamps and the sand blower switch on, if it rains in the game, water comes out of a nozzle above the chair, the higher you walk the windier it gets, it stinks in the swamp, etc. I built this project with Paul Reichard and we won first place in the German multimedia prize \"MB21\" and in the \"crossmedia competition\".<\/p>\n\n
