The Interactive dance wall was a part of a commission to create two interactive electronic installations, which utilized interactive sound sculptures and OpenFrameworks driven interactive projections.
The interactive wall used a rear-projection screen that used depth information from a Kinect to trigger fluid animations on the screen. It could be customized to sense a larger field in front of the screen so that you could ‘dance’ in front of the screen to trigger animations. You could alternatively set the proximity sensing to just a few inches in front of the screen so that it would act as a digital painting wall, allowing the user to draw brushstrokes across the screen with their hands.
I later installed the dance wall at the gallery opening for Jason Mehl during his artist residency at the Fairmont in Dallas. The projections were accompanied by performance artist Tara Baker.
