Subjective User-Interaction Models in 3D Spatial Environments: Virtual DJ and Virtual VJ

Abstract

In this demonstration the author will describe and show examples of his work for 3D spatial environments. These projects use motion tracking technology to enable users to interact with sound, light and video using their body movements in 3D space. Specific video examples of one past project (Virtual DJ) and one current project (Virtual VJ) will be shown to illustrate how subjective and flexible user interaction is enabled through a complex but predictable mapping of 3D space to media control. This demonstration will be supported by an evening performance
