Dayton Cubes

July 22 2011

Installation made with Hush Studios and Flightphase for the University of Dayton admissions office. When I enter the building, it is in "idle mode", where there is some animated typography of some questions. When I enter the interaction area, a 87x26 field of cubes starts moving, rotating, and scaling in waves, and some cubes directly in front of me congeal into a surface and a video of student life starts playing. At one point, you can see the Kinect cameras installed in the ceiling.

For more information, please see the documentation on the Flightphase site.
