Laura and I decided to continue our project.
How we would like to continue:
● Work on the sound piece. Use different (more human) voices.
● Use more words for the Logo/Titel according to the sound piece/text
● Interaction between sound piece/text and images → guide the audience through the installation
● Kinect: Interactive Installation?
EXPO SEAMLESS REALITY
When visiting the expo we gained some perspective on virtual reality and got to have our own experience with it. I found out the video's made
me nauseous and sometimes my eyes could not quite follow what was happening. But the thing that struck me the most was something I
experienced while watching the people wearing the glasses, tangled up in their experience. I watched them move their heads, sometimes smiling
but mostly with a neutral face. They were no longer in the same room as I was even tough they were sitting right before me. I had the courage
to film them because they could not see or hear me, there was no form of communication.
I viewed these people from the perspective of the fictional future me and Laura created and it gave me an un uncomfortable feeling. They al
seemed so detached from reality and from themselves. Considering our current digital behaviour on our mobile phones the future of which
we speculated was sitting right before me and it was scaring me.
The shift from reality to virtual reality really interested me and we decided to add this to our installation and try to simulate and visualize this transition.
Choices we made after the expo
● Adding the transition as the starting point of our installation
● Changing the shape of our installation room to intensify the transition
After these choices we made a building plan for our installation.
The installation will contain sensors creating an interaction between the visitors and image and sound.
The transition will be visualized trough beamers projecting an image of people wearing the glasses.
