Project Details
- "Wango: COMPOST (Compost) is an interactive system that places the audience in control of live video and audio feeds while they navigate through a real-time interface."
- "The Wango Compost Processing Center (WCPC) combines data generated by portable recording technology attached to human vehicles called Decomposing Agents. At SIGGRAPH 97, these agents transmit audio/video information back across the Internet via the WCPC."
- "Hosted by a virtual cyber-presence, both live and virtual attendees explore new ways of controlling media types through live interaction. The primary goal is for people not physically in Los Angeles for SIGGRAPH 97 to be able to experience as much interaction as a person attending the conference."
