Thanks to Phil Andrews for finding this:
“As if looking at floating images in free space produced by mid-air displays isn’t cool enough, a research team from the University of Tokyo now makes it possible to even touch (kind of) those images with a newly developed projector system.”
Three Cases of Amnesia November 27, 2009
Posted by admin in : Augmented Reality, Information, Performance , comments closedThis could be a really interesting event for second years studying the Performance Video unit. Apologies for the short notice, just picked this up.
Award-winning choreographer Jonah Bokaer is bringing his unusual performance Three Cases of Amnesia to Alllesbrook Lecture Theatre Bournemouth University on Friday 27th 6.30pm.
The solo piece incorporates dance, 3D animation and video art and is both choreographed and performed by Jonah. It’s part of a programme of events to promote Pavilion Dance – the world-class dance centre under construction in Bournemouth Pavilion.
This is a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in dance or digital media to see something very unique. Jonah has performed worldwide and worked with Merce Cunningham – the founding father of modern American Dance – so securing his talent here is a real coup.

Posted by admin in : Augmented Reality , comments closedThis is one of the first examples I have seen of how you can explore the intersection of 3D spatialised motion graphics and the real world. The idea of an underlying store of data is a very powerful one and is an extension of the concepts of metaverse and the underworld.
