Body of Mist and Light
2009

Description

This footage is demonstrating a project that is an interactive, motion tracking stage. It emits mist and light to follow a performers hand movements around a stage and reacts to his gestures which control the way the mist and light expresses itself. For example when the perform spreads his fingers in a the environment changes from red with blue trails to blue with red trails.

Future version

The future version of this project will include a higher resolution of misting points so that the mist connects together and seems to move as a cohesive unit.
