The idea was to have the audience in an enivronment they hadn‘t dynamically experienced yet. The participants swing in a miniature landscape. We recorded the video material with a high framerate camera and projected on a surface in front of the swing-construction. We explored the borders of visual immersion without an HMD.
I used Adobe AFX to edit two sequences of video material and applied a 3D-Camera tracker to add particle, color and light effects. The result were two stylized variants of the recorded sequence giving an impression of moving through 3D space. The projection would switch between the two sequences seamlessly depending on the swing movement. More activity would increase the effect and less would shift to the monochrome sequence. The swing became an interactive device. We attached a motion sensor under the swing board and calculated the current position and angle. The parameters were connected to the video material we had processed. A visual scripting software made sure this was all happening in real time.
