Examples of other Interactive work

On our visit to New York we visited an Interactive installation in the "Arts Building 529 20th Street".


There were two similar installations, the first was formed of wooden blocks which moved to a different angle to appear as a different colour when someone stood on a gravel track in front of the sheet of blocks, the blocks would form a "shadow" of the person and move with their movements.


The installation appeared to use a motion sensing camera and many chips, with 1 chip seeming to control the movement of around 4 or 6 of the wooden blocks.

The second installation was very similar but used mirrors instead,


the mirrors pointed towards red blue and green lights which in my opinion had a much more interesting effect to the other installation as it gave a sort of disco effect.

The installation seemed to work in the same way as the other installation but seemed to be a lot more responsive, this could be due to the use of colours instead of shadow.

I feel the use of motion sensing cameras is something I could do a lot with. I am going to look into other ways I could use them as something on this scale is far too much to do with the time we have but something smaller would definitely be viable in my opinion. Possibly using a screen instead of the wooden blocks.
