An interactive art using participant's image with intuitive action oriented method

Abstract

This interactive art projects oneself on the monitor, and controls the image with the participant's hands. Once a participant moves the arms like a wall lizard (Yamori) or a rock climber, the participant virtually climbs the background image in the monitor. Fusing optical feedback from physical intuitive control, with subjectivity according to an image taking in one's own, a virtual reality is actualized. The motion of the arms is obtained by extracting almost uniform color regions in the screen corresponding to the colored gloves worn by the participant.
