Forcefield Interactive
January 5, 2009
On Christmas Eve Forcefield Interactive went live with the addition of two sensor inputs to allow visitors to the exhibition to play with the light installation.
A kiosk inside the space as well as facing the outside of the window on Fitzroy Street allowed visitors to put their Oyster card on a reader and have their card trigger a unique color to travel throughout the light sculpture. Additionally, a color sensor inside the space allows visitors to place an object of color on a reader, select the color and send it traveling through the installation. The default light display is generated using Perlin noise with the 192 lights being controlled by a single Arduino.
Other collaborators included Tinker.it and Artificial Tourism
