We had a meeting with a rep from OMi-Interactive Systems yesterday, which is a company that has developed an interactive projector system; it makes visual responses based on movement:
"The system projects dynamic images onto any floor or wall surface and delivers a full body immersive experience, allowing users to control a game or advertisement through their body movement.
At the heart of OMi-Vista is a formidable software programme that is driven by a highly advanced movement tracking system.It ‘reads’ the precise position of any body within the projected area at any given time, allowing for real-time changes to the graphical images."
The company have agreed to provide a projection system and an engineer to set it up for the Curzon Street exhibition private view. Its simple to use: basically there is 2 layers of images/video (the images are simple jpeg files or avi). You design the top image to move away in a specificed movement (scatter, wipe, tiles, water, smash, trail are their programmed actions) to reveal the bottom layer. We are really quite lucky to have this system as its new to the market and hasn't yet been used in any other arts exhibition in the way we envision it for our show; it will be a one-of-a-kind attraction. We will be designing the graphics soon and will be looking for input from you all. Also we will possibly be asking a couple people to put their work in the system. We envision the projection being set up either in the foyer or in the bar area. Please have a look at the web site and the videos to familiarize yourself with the product. Any ideas on the type of graphics or interaction to have? Place comments on the blog.

Very Cool....remember seeing this in a club in Edinburgh...What type of motion graphics and images are been used?...
Two images right....
I would use a welcome message ect...over a room plan map...
Welcomes people in and also provides them with useful information...
just a quick idea..
It's an .avi movie background with .png image files in the foreground.
The software lets you layer the .png files to create animations (ie like how an animated gif is created).
It's the same system we saw in Scotland.
Loads of scope - we can change the item on screen too and put a loop together (say 5 mins max).
Exciting stuff ...
god XX amazing n interesting...
it can be interacted by hands, body shadow as well? (when the imges are on the wall)
its interactive by any movement. we will have it on the floor though.
We at OMi are very much looking forward to playing our part in the show, and giving you guys a canvas with a difference. Any questions via "Catharine A. Frediani" or to myself "mark@om-interactive.com"
