Flightphase collaborated with Hush and 160over90 to create the
interactive wall at the University of Dayton.     Two viewers in
the interaction area join to reveal a larger portion of the
video.  The videos, produced by Hush Studios and directed by
Peter Rhoads, are shot from a first-person perspective. They
include shots from the UD classrooms and labs, as well as other
aspects of campus life.  Prospective students and their families
can interact with the wall on their campus visit.  The viewer’s
movement affects the behavior of the field of cubes in several
ways. Cameras mounted in the ceiling above the interaction area
send the contour of the viewer’s silhouette to the application
that is responsible for animating and drawing the cubes. The
cubes in the area of that contour face the viewer and move
together to form a seamless ‘screen’ of many video tiles. Cubes
around the viewer’s silhouette adapt a different behavior,
making the viewer’s every move reflected in the pattern that is
formed in front of them.
