starry_night is a large-scale interactive installation by Brad Miller that I helped develop along with Adam Hinshaw in early 2014.
The installation involves a combination of cameras and Microsoft Kinect sensors to track the presence and movement of visitors – translating these via a 3D point cloud into a projected animated cosmos and constellations of stars. The software was written in C++/openFameworks and was installed as part of Vivid Sydney 2014.
starry_night was created by Brad Miller with Adam Hinshaw, Ian McArthur and Philippa Bateman.
More details along with images and videos of the installation can be seen here.
Supported by ArtNSW grant and Commissioned by Vivid 2014.
