Cut to Ribbons

It's been a while since I produced any new interactive stuff, so here's something I made recently that uses multiple webcams to track the position of a hand-held marker or person. The tracking data is then used to produce some interactive 3D imagery for viewing through dorky 3D glasses.

Here's some text from the "I can't be bothered writing this" description:

"Projector-based interactive installation artwork. Inspiration came from the ribbons used in rhythmic gymnastics and chinese ribbon dances.

By using multiple cameras to track the 3D motion of a distinct object (such as a torch) held by a visitor we can create and project a virtual ribbon, with the dancer and ribbon dancing on opposite sides of the virtual/real border."

There are images and videos on the proper Cut to Ribbons page. All a bit of fun, really.
