Project Details
- "HoloWall is an interactive wall system that allows visitors to interact with digital information displayed on the wall surface without using any special pointing devices."
- Using a combination of infrared cameras and infrared lights installed behind the wall, HoloWall recognizes human bodies, hands, or other physical objects that are close enough to the wall surface.
- "HoloWall demonstrates several interactive environments including a world of autonomous digital insects that respond to body movements and an interactive sound environment that reactively creates music sequences based on the user's actions."
