PROJECTS

Interactive Particles

January 2012 - June 2012 | included in the Villa Quitapenas* Show

This installation involves video tracking, Kinect camera, a descending particle simulation, dance, performers and the audience. Kinect is used as 3D and infrared camera, to locate objects and people moving in real time (video tracking). A program with Processing and Box2D (physics engine library) process the data captured by the camera to generate particles that react to the performers and audience.

Mapping Scenography

June 2012 - September 2012 | included in the Villa Quitapenas* Show

Mapping is a technique that involves projecting visual images and 3D animations on real surfaces for effects of alterations with the movement and real-time 3D. I have done a mapping scenography at different times of the performance. Playing with the visual perception of the public transforming the 2D drawing into a 3D structure with movements that also changes the position on stage during the play.

3D Shadows

May 2012 - September 2012 | included in the Villa Quitapenas* Show

I have investigated Blender Game Engine, the virtual lights and the similarities between the real and the virtual scene. I have duplicated the boxes in the real scene in the 3D scene. In real time in the performance, I move, as a technician, the virtual lights, touching the buttons in keyboard before defined (Game Engine). Then projected it on stage, and thus the virtual shadows of the stage, interacts with the actor and the audience.

Projector Shutter (Arduino)

May 2012 | Work together with Aurora Diago

Realization of a projector shutter with Arduino. I did also a detailed manual and an explainatory video for the Arduino and Theater community. The projector shutter can completely obscure a scene, or switch from one program to another without showing a direct screenshots. It is especially useful in theaters.

Gamuza Interactive Script

March 2012

Audiovisual and interactive scripts done with Gamuza (Open Frameworks based) for a disco party on March 31th 2012, at the Music Box Club (Valencia). Graphics react to pitch and volume of music creating geometric shapes and colors according to the value taking these fields.
