Project Details

"This imaging display changes according to the number of people watching it, their behaviors, and whether they've watched the device before." 
 
"As in 'Magic Morphin' Mirror,' a SIGGRAPH 97 Electric Garden project by the same group, this display captures video along the same optical axis as video displayed, so images of observers can be directly manipulated, composited, or distorted on the display." This display extends the work to visually track and respond to a crowd of people and track users over time through multiple sessions. 
 
"We show that continuity/consistency of experience across multiple simultaneous users, or a single users at a time, is possible."
