Project Details
- "This interactive project introduces a multimedia experience using an interactive kaleidoscope."
- "The lamascope uses a video camera lens as the eye of a kaleidoscope and projects a kaleidoscopic image of the participant onto a large screen. A vision subsystem is coupled to the electronic eye to control musical tones using a sustain algorithm. A wireless microphone produces echoes corresponding to the audio analog of the kaleidoscopic reflections."
- "Once inside the lamascope, participants can gesture, dance, sign, and speak to control and choreograph the imagery and music in real time."
