Archifon is a large and interactive virtual musical instrument controlled with laser pointers. Architectonical objects are re-interpreted by virtual visual elements via projection and sound. This is made possible by the mapping of the virtual surface of the architecture. Up to twenty visitors at a time can interact with Archifon by using the laser pointers. This time we turned the interior of the beautiful Basilica San Juan el Real in Oviedo into a huge interactive installation. Concept, audio, Max/MSP programming…

INITI Playgroundz is augmented reality platform for large scale applications on flat surfaces (walls). It was developed while trying to connect video mapping and games, but it can be used for other applications, too. The size or count of interactive surfaces is scalable and the applications are capable of handling input of multiple users simultaneously. Previous gamez: vimeo.com/166247151 vimeo.com/210286293 Concept and art-direction: Dan Gregor Programmer: Ondřej Průcha.

Basically this system allows to make multitouch area on every flat surfaces. Technically it’s combination of motion-tracking and projection-mapping. Main benefits are that there are no limits in a scale of game-stage (it could be 1km long if you want) and no limit how many people can be involved in one moment. Here is a video from our test installation in Prague. We developed kind of computer game but projected in real scenery. It is mainly dedicated to kids but also adults were…

Khôra (Khora or Chora; Ancient Greek: χώρα) is a philosophical term described by Plato in Timaeus as a receptacle, a space, or an interval. It is neither being nor nonbeing but an interval between in which the “forms” were originally held. Khôra “gives space” and has maternal overtones (a womb, matrix). A formless and unnameable “it” that we cannot identify but only evoke with images of unidentifiable places, like a kind of dissolution into the tohu wa bohu* (waste and…

Spectrum* analyzes allegorical sensation of the image itself and the moment that makes the process of innovation. It focuses on the expression of the virtual world in a designated physical space. Silver, one of the symbols of Kutna Hora, whose essential feature is to reflect light and in a polished mirror state to reflect real world, provides us with an ideal opportunity to link it with the Church of St. Barbara, another symbol of this city. The result of this…
