Making of: Interactive Interface

Making of an interactive interface for controlling projection mapping projects. The interface uses lots of IR proximity sensors and a Raspberry Pi to send the data over LAN using the OSC protocol. User feedback is provided by the LEDs integrated into each sensor and 7.1 surround sound. The interface can be used to control various software directly using OSC, however we mainly use it with Unity 3D. Within Unity we have a virtual model of the interface which allows us to translate user actions in a spacial way to control other elements of the installation (e.g. projection mapping and sound). Produced by Cosmic Lab Co.,Ltd.
