Project Details
- "Cypress Adventure" is an interactive experience set in a cypress swamp."
- "The experience is based on optical, non-contact, real-time tracking of markers placed on the participants' hands." Using visual feedback, the gestures are interpreted as commands to virtual controls on a racing fanboat or design environment.
- The result is an experience that can be enjoyed in tandem with another player (chase sequence) or individual (design sequence).
