Audio Space Theo Watson 2005 headphones, microphone, voice sound, deformed sound, single-user, reactive to head position, filles the whole room, unconscious choice of narrative by movement, anywhere indoors, environment, sound, sonic
Audio Space is a 3D augmented aural space. A user wearing a headset can leave messages at any point within the room and hear all the sounds left by everyone before them spatialised as if the people were really still there. It has been exhibited at ICHIM 05 in Paris, the 2006 Eyebeam Summer Exhibition in New York, Netherlands Institute for Media Art Amsterdam 2007 and TAG The Hague 2008. Later version transform the voice into sonic structures that create a rich and layered sonic environment.
Augmented Sculpture Series Pablo Valbuena 2007 spacial Projection, videomapping, sculpture, animation, sound, multi-user, 180 large field of view, natural eye movement, linear narrative, space-specific for sculpture, ars electronica, projection mapping
This project is focused on the temporary quality of space, investigating space-time not only as a three dimensional environment, but as space in transformation. For this purpose two layers are produced that explore different aspects of the space-time reality. On the one hand the physical layer, which controls the real space and shapes the volumetric base that serves as support for the next level. The second level is a virtual projected layer that allows controlling the transformation and sequentiality of space-time. These ideas come to life in an abstract and geometric envelope, enhanced with synesthetic audio elements and establishing a dialogue with the observer.
Body Paint Mehmet Akten 2009 spacial projection, motion tracking, bodies, generative animation, multi-user, large field of view, human live performance, interaction with public, live, generative, non-linear narrative, any stage, live, dance, motion tracking, real-time
“Body Paint” by Mehmet Akten is an interactive installation and performance allowing users to paint on a virtual canvas with their body, interpreting gestures and dance into evolving compositions. The installation is designed to work with any number of people and is scalable to cover small or large areas. The interaction is very simple - movement creates paint. Hidden in the simplicity, are many layers of subtle details. Different aspects of the motion - size, speed, acceleration, curvature, distance all have an effect on the outcome - strokes, splashes, drips, spirals - and is left up to the users to play and discover.
Epizentrum Martin Zeplichal 2005 projection, videomapping, architecture, reactive animation, multi-user, 180 large field of view, no narrative, anywhere indoors, long setup, projectionmapping, audio reactive, energy, edges
The sensitive reciprocity between visitor and space is visualized by interactively animating the existing architectural geometry. Seismographic oscillations produced by the visitor of the space get amplified and every step causes striking movements of the ambient itself. This map of oscillation gets amplified and transferred into a visible real-time animation that projects the animated edges of the building geometry on itself. The space visibly moves and becomes both interactive toy and interface.
Exercise in Immersion 4 Marnix de Nijs (V2_) 2007 head-mounted display, sensors, microphone, video, sound, video, generative abstract animation, sound, single-user, 360 choice of perspective, large field of view, reactive to head position, game with unknown goal, unconscious choices about narrative, indoors, anywhere, long setup, game, art-game, Deaf 07, crash suit
The headset is equipped with a sensor system that can couple the exact position of the user in reality with previously designed imagery. On the display built into the headset, a combination between the real world and the virtual-constructed world becomes visible.The virtual world corresponds with the existing environment through a number of clearly marked reference points, such as walls, pillars and doors. Without movement, the player remains in reality and there is no possibility to take part in the game. Movement and game progression results in the manipulation of the existing space that in the long run will transform into a virtual environment. In the most extreme case, the representation of the existing space will be completely replaced with a new and unknown world.
Extension Series Pablo Valbuena 2009 spacial Projection, videomapping, indoors architecture, animation, sound, multi-user, 180 large field of view, natural eye movement, linear narrative, space-specific, vooruit, projection mapping, almost cinema
The result is a game of light and dark. On and off. Present and absent. Virtual and real. A binary system made to measure for the digital age. The age where light does not mean anything without the reference to dark, and ‘on’ does not mean anything without ‘off’. Where the present always refers to the absent. Where you cannot see what is virtual without reality. Together they form one reality: the space, the map, the plan in which we are.
Film Museum - Augmented Sand Sculpture Theo Watson, Emily Gobeille (Film Museum Amsterdam) 2009 spacial projection, videomapping, sand sculpture, animation, sound, multi-user, 180 large field of view, natural eye movement, linear 2 minute animation, space-specific, projection mapping, sculpture, architecture
For the groundbreaking of the new Film Museum site in Amsterdam Overhoek I was asked by Wieden + Kennedy to develop an augmented projection to dynamically unveil a five meter long sand sculpture of the future building. Working with Emily Gobeille we developed a two minute animation that unveiled the building in a series of stages that highlighted both the architectural elements of the building as well as giving a preview of what people would experience inside.
Generative Graffiti Theo Watson (Eyebeam's Graffiti Research Lab) 2006 spacial projection, lit window recognition, Maritime Hotel, generative abstract animation, multi-user, 180 large field of view, natural eye movement, non-lineair animation reacts to the lit windows in the hotel, space- specific, outdoors, hotel, generative, graffiti, projection, architecture
In collaboration with Eyebeam's Graffiti Research Lab. A particle based drawing system that spawns particles from the lit up windows of the Maritime Hotel. The particles are attracted to one another but will repel away from the non-lit windows.
Grazing Jellies Neil Mendonza, Hudson-Powell (Abandon Normal Devices festival) 2010 desktop screen, 3D mapping, forrest, generative animation, multi-user, 180 small field of view, reacts to body movement and sound, generative non-liear narrative, space specific, nature, forrest
Grazing Jellies creates a view into a forest where cosmic slugs munch on space men's helmets and melon slices. These hungry hallucinations are inquisitive as well as starving, if there's movement in the trees or some chatter on the ground they'll pay it a visit.
Horizon Zero AR Bridge Anita Fontaine, Geoff Lillemon, Aaron Meyers (Champagne Valentine) 2010 desktop, graphic image recognition, marker logo's, generative animation, sound, single-user, small field of view, reactive to marker position, generative, non-linear narrative, in front of any computer with webcam, code1, oscillator, DIY
Part virtual sculpture, part instrument, the piece responds to the theme of bridges by creating a virtual version which is fully responsive to physical movement. Ignis, fatuus, tacnode connects an abstract 3D accordion through using ambient oscillating sound design and enticing graphics for a playful and radical experience.

Laser Tag Theo Watson (Eyebeam's Graffiti Research Lab) 2007 spacial projection, laser, hand-drawn graphic, generative abstract graphics, multi-user, 180 large field of view, natural eye movement, non-linear graphics generated by the public, anywhere, quick setup, laser, outdoors, generative, graffiti, projection, architecture
During a cold week in February, armed with several high power lasers, two hardcore projectors and a camper van, the Graffiti Research Lab and I went about turning the back of a large office building in Rotterdam into a massive laser-tagable space. Writers from all over Europe came down to have a go at writing their tags 140 feet high. Kids, old people and random members of the public all enjoyed being able to write messages on a building which could be seen across the whole city.
Night Lights Joel Gethin Lewis, Zach Lieberman, Pete Hellicar, Kyle McDonald, Todd Vanderlin w/ Daito (The Electric Canvas, YesYesNo, Inside Out, The Church ) 2009 spacial projection, projection mapping, motion tracking, building, live video feed of people, generative video, multi-user, 180 large field of view, uses body outlines, generative non-linear narrative, mapped on the ferry building, projectionmapping, phone, movement, openframeworks
In this installation YesYesNo teamed up with The Church, Inside Out Productions and Electric Canvas to turn the Auckland Ferry Building into an interactive playground. Our job was to create an installation that would go beyond merely projection on buildings and allow viewers to become performers, by taking their body movements and amplifying them 5 stories tall

Real-time computer simulation of falling and colliding objects projected onto a building. The audience can control the direction of the gravity and some of the properties of the objects with a wireless globe. Custom hard and software made with processing and arduino.
The Amazing Cinemagician Helen Papagiannis 2009 spacial projection, graphic image recognition, paying cards, animation on fogscreen, multi-user, 360 large field of view, natural eye movement, non-linear narrative triggered by user, anywhere indoors, Georges Méliès, fog, spacial
The project “The Amazing Cinemagician” is based on a card-trick, using physical playing cards as an interface to interact with the FogScreen. RFID tags are hidden within each physical playing card. (Part of the magic and illusion of this project was to disguise the RFID tag as a normal object, out of the viewer’s sight.) Each of these tags corresponds to a short film clip by Méliès, which is projected on to the FogScreen once a selected card is placed atop the RFID tag reader.
The Hague City Hall Pablo Valbuena 2008 spacial Projection, videomapping, City Hall, animation, multi-user, 180 large field of view, natural eye movement, linear narrative, space-specific, today's art, projection mapping, architectural space
In the past Pablo Valbuena has worked for several international videogame and film studios investigating spatial concepts applied to virtual environments and digital architecture as a concept designer. This project focuses on the temporary quality of space, investigating space-time not only as a three dimensional environment, but as space in transformation. By using geometric forms and light, Valbuena alters multiple dimensions of space-time, creating an astounding visual experience.
