Playing with light and surfaces seems futuristic but the 'Light Form' Interactive Landscape by Mathieu Rivier is making that notion entirely possible.
The installation was created by Rivier, a student of ECAL University of Art and Design. The sculpture is ragged solid surface that reacts to touch using infra red sensing technology. The surface provides a visually geometric multi-touch aesthetic that is ultra modern.
The device works with both webcams and pressure points to form the interactive nature of Rivier's piece. According to Creative Applications, when these points are stimulated, the information is sent to a program that "calculates the data from the touched points on the form in 3D [which is] then transposed on the flat form."
Fascinating technology aside, it is certain that Mathieu Rivier's work with interactive art is groundbreaking and supremely fascinating.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Interactive Light Installations
- Interactive light installations are emerging as an innovative way to create visually stunning and engaging experiences for audiences.
- Multi-touch Aesthetics
- Multi-touch aesthetics that use infra red sensing technology represent an innovative way for artists and designers to create interactive sculptures and installations.
- 3D Data Transposition
- The use of 3D data transposition enables creators to generate dynamic visual effects in response to touch and other interactive triggers, opening up new possibilities in interactive art and design.
Sectors Adopting This
- Art & Design
- The art and design industry can leverage interactive light installations and multi-touch aesthetics to create immersive and engaging experiences that captivate viewers and enhance artistic expression.
