Final Project Proposal
Title: Video Light Box
Keywords:
interactive, light, video projection, light box
General Scope of Ideas:
Interaction with physical object, discovery/ unveiling of imagery (possibly sound?), looking at something plain and seeing (or hearing) what is on the inside
Parts of the general scope specifically covered by this project:
People will be able to interact with a physical object to uncover imagery hidden within a box which, from the outside, looks like an ordinary object. Imagery will be video-taped from within and displayed on screen beside the box.
Project Introduction
The light box is a way to look at ways of viewing things differently. Since the view within the box is closed off, you must use another way of seeing (through use of cameras and screen) to reveal things on the inside.
- Project Intentions
Initiate dialogue on the subject of inner versus outer appearance, also revealing what is hidden using technology.
- The Experience (the audience or users for your project; what project provides that other similar projects do not provide or provide differently) The person would ideally walk up to the square box, approximately 2.5', and see the screen beside it. The box will have handles, or some type of device that suggests movement using hands. The box will be built to allow certain movement but not reveal what is on the inside. A similar project might be the ultra-sound monitor used to see inside a mother's womb. In this project, anyone (not just a doctor) can "look inside" and, depending on how they move the box, the experience varies from person to person. Sort of like looking into a mirror. It is different for everyone.
Currently Available Resources:
Wood, tools for building the box, ideas on the content
Missing Elements for Project:
video screen, imagery/light (or sound) for the inside, technical knowledge on video recording to projection
Providing the Missing Elements:
research resources available/ collaborate with others
