Kinetech Arts Selected Interactive Installations

The following projects were developed and presented as public art installations by our non-profit, creative partner Kinetech Arts. Imagine using these components, backed by Kineviz technology, to drive your conference attendee user engagement solution.

Real-time data is mapped into a 3D world to create a sensational virtual experience. Visualization components used in this piece included:

� Body: The Data Gallery translates your body’s movements into interaction with the environment.

� Music: Audio frequencies are translated into animated particles that light up the entire landscape.

� Twitter: Live tweets are pulled in, each generating its own unique form based on the number of retweets.

Technology Used � Wii Balance Board � Microsoft Kinect � WebGL and Javascript software � Live Twitter data � HD projector � MacBook Pro laptop computer

The user’s motion (A) is captured by a Wii Balance Board (B) and Kinect sensor (C) and sent to the computer (D), where they are mapped to a digital representation of the user’s skeletal structure, and merged into a 3-dimensional virtual environment (E). A projector (F) sends the resulting real-time animated visualization onto a screen (G).

The Judgment Wall is a fun, collaborative exploration of high resolution scanning technology, surveillance, and the uncanny sense of humor of Silicon Valley. Unwitting victims walk past a projected grid of high resolution 3D busts. Once they land in front of the wall, the eyes of the “digital jury” turn toward the user, seemingly “passing judgment” on him/her.

Patrons dissatisfied with merely being judged can opt to lend their virtual likeness to the exhibit. Sitting for a short 3D scanning session gives them the opportunity to judge their peers from high upon our digital perch.

This VR enhanced Twitter visualizer is viewable through an Oculus Rift VR headset with a Leap Motion sensor mounted on it to detect the user’s head movements. Tweets were shown emerging from geo-accurate locations on a virtual model of Earth. Users wearing the headset could turn their heads back and forth to view all 360 degrees of the visualization and use physical gestures to zoom in and out.

This immersive visualization represents the complex flow of real-time Twitter communication as a clear and colorful social relations graph.. Each node represents a unique Twitter user whose content is shown emanating from the earth.

The user’s connection graph is generated by analyzing retweets. The conversations seem to have a mind of their own as they float above the earth like living satellites.

This colorful installation, exhibited at the Marin Headlands Center for the Arts Spring 2015 Open House, puts the paintbrush at your feet. Using the Wii Balance Board, and a floor projection, users create complex fluid paintings just by leaning.

Driven by fractal noise, the overlapping ribbons of color combine to create a delicate yet intricate expression of one’s true inner mindscape.
