Thorne Brandt

My goal for the next year or so is to publish a new one minute documentation of a realtime audiovisual performance every day before I go to sleep. I also plan to stream my process on twitch.tv/thornebrandt

Why am I doing this?

This virtual webcam sculpting tool is meant to be experienced in a space in which the feed from the HTC Vive is projected onto the space directly where the user is standing so that a disorienting feedback loop is created.

This was an installation for Digital Art Demo Space as part of the pre-show for Nothing Up My Sleeve show that would project a unique distinctly textured 'aura' onto each individual person and allow Hannah Simon Kim to provide personalized interpretations of the shapes.

This trick was accomplished using Unity scripts, a Microsoft Kinect hidden above the projector, and a lot of calibrating.
