On the table are a variety of dark rubber and felt objects. The table is also a dry-erase surface and can be scribbled on with conventional whiteboard markers. Note the real-time video projection, from overhead, of various augmented-reality (AR) information layers: a grid representing subdivisions of time and pitch; a “Current-Time Indicator,” which scans the table lengthwise; and glowing haloes around the physical objects, indicating successful detection.

1 | Sensing the City
What is the extreme vision of the scenario?
Each object or person enter a space or plaza will be casted with an outline of light, as if on the stage.
Why is the project significant?
It relates presence to high lightening directly.
What do you identify as a poetic aspect to the logic of operation of the system at question?
Every presence in the space are given attention and respect.
1 | Sensing the City
What challenges are inherent in deployment of the project or maintaining the integrity or level of operation of the system in the long run?
If installed in street crossing or plaza, it might interfere with privacy?
What is your evaluation of the design of the physical manifestation of the system in terms of its esthetics?
Good
How can the system scale up or down to fit a different context of operation? How can its logic of operation or technology be re-appropriated for the different context?
To a street corner, plaza, or a stage.

Answer……
Which sensing technology/ types of sensors are deployed to impliment spatial gaze?
Acoustic.
How the performance of the piece/instalation is conditioned?
In the installation, visitors wear special see-through data glasses,which register and superimpose stereoscopic 3D graphics into thereal world. When one of the users speaks or sings, colorfulabstract forms appear (through the goggles) to emerge from his orher mouth. The graphics representing these utterances assume avariety of shapes and behaviors that are tightly coupled to theunique qualities of the vocalist’s volume, pitch and timbre.

Which actuation technology is used to provide for dynamism of the piece?
To accomplish this, we use headsets consisting of a home-brewedcombination of an Ascension Flock of Birds 6-degree-of-freedomposition tracker; Sony I-Glasses which had been modified (withadditional view-holes and custom half-silvered optics) to be semitransparent,and a miniature AKG vocal microphone mountedwithin the bridge of the Sony glasses.
What connectivity technology is used to connect different parts of the informatically driven system at question?
Visitor utterances are segmented, analyzed and then representedgraphically as noodle-like “sound-gestures.” We employ a varietyof speech analyses to parameterize the shapes of the soundgestures,but the most perceptually salient of these are duration(mapped to the visual length of sound-gestures) and volume(mapped to changes in the sound-gestures’ diameter).

With "Videoplace", Myron Krüger launched an interactive installation in 1975 that now exists in several versions following numerous revisions and developments. The visitor - in front of a brightly lit wall - is filmed by a video camera and projected onto the graphics screen in real time as a "shadow". Other participants in the installation can also appear, plus graphical elements and computer-animated figures.Using his projected image, the observer can interact with other elements on the projection screen. The responses of a computer animated figure are determined by those of the visitor. The interaction between the user and the computer-generated world is being tried out as an artistic medium and is being made aesthetically accessible. The "Videoplace" system identifies the head and various limbs of the players, and determines how quickly they are moving. When the actions of one of these people are analysed in the context of the graphical world, the computer has to recalculate the consequences of its actions. These calculations are structured and used to control the graphic, image processing and the sound, and also to produce the feedback..
