Fantastic Voyage takes visitors on a virtual journey through the abstract interior of a sculpture. Inspired by the possibilities opened up by modern endoscopes, visitors are given a tool that brings this reactive world to life using the power of light. Their generative environment changes as they interact with it, revealing new forms and patterns and bringing the world to life. Each visitor creates their own immersive narrative. The sculpture itself is also filled with living light that mirrors the visitors’ journey of exploration and displays it to the outside world, making the exhibit into a hybrid between a sculptural artwork and a medium of communication for sharing the fantastic voyages. The artwork is inspired by the Olympus endoscopes which shows smallest changes during the medical test already with the help of the optical zoom and narrowband filters.

The custom software, developed in vvvv, allows the player to discover a generative world, which grows and becomes alive as one explores this cavelike sculpture. Together with Kling Klang Klong we developed an interactive sound scape, that creates an immersive, binaural experience.

DX11.Particles is our very own tool for great visuals and animations. We asked some friends to try out the software. The show reel above is showing some of the awesome results by antokhio, blenderich, tmp, everyoneishappy, korai, noir, schnellebuntebilder and superbien.

With DX11.Particles we created a cutting-edge computational tool that generates, animates, controls, and interprets pointclouds and particle systems. With its wide array of possible behaviours and advanced grouping methods, DX11.Particles offers a wide spectrum of great visual aesthetics to make sure the audience or users never get bored. It allows us to both generate or finely detect and track physical objects and bodies in 3D space, interpreting them as ever-changing clouds of three-dimensional pixels, and process either blazingly fast on any modern graphics card. The technology allows the usage of Microsoft’s Kinect camera to obtain and process 3D data in real-time, to find meaning in space. DX11.Particles scales well because calculation is done by the GPU. Additionally, even multiple point clouds can be pre-filtered and joined through your local network. That’s why for larger setups we can easily combine multiple computers and fuse many cameras and perspectives in one application.

We decided to release the code, so other people can learn and benefit from it, too.

Weightlifting through brainwaves? No problem. Together with and das Santos we developed a mobile setup, where two players could engage in a mental high-striker contest. While the opponents are solving several brain-teasing tasks their brain activity is measured, evaluated and used to control the ascent and descent of apparently hovering discs. May the more alert mind win.
