"More Than Meets The Eye" Animated VR Experience

As part of the Research Away Day, Joe de Lappe presented his inspirational MGhandi project which used a "treadmill customised for cyberspace" de Lappe (2008) . I am interested to see how game technology and  interactive experiences, could be applied to my research, with the possibility of 3D tangible outcomes too.   http://www.delappe.net/game-art/mgandhis-march-to-dandi-in-second-life/ Images and text: Joe de Lappe Life, 2008 Over the course of 26 days, from March 12 - April 6, 2008, using a treadmill customized for cyberspace, I reenacted Mahatma Gandhi's famous 1930 Salt March. The original 240-mile walk was made in protest of the British salt tax; my update of this seminal protest march took place at Eyebeam Art and Technology, NYC and in Second Life, the Internet-based virtual world. For this performance, I walked the entire 240 miles of the original march in real life and online in Second Life. My steps on the treadmill controlled the forward movement o...

As part of Joe de Lappe's presentation at the Research Away Day 29th October, there were a few slides on Chronocyclegraphs. Invented by Frank and Lilian Gilbreth 1914 small light bulbs were attached to finger tips, to capture motion patterns with light. https://nptel.ac.in/courses/112107142/7 "Cycle graph and Chrono cycle graph These are the techniques of analyzing the paths of motion made by an operator and were originally developed by the Gilbreths. To make a cycle graph , a small electric bulb is attached to the finger, hand, or any other part of the body whose motion is to be recorded. By using still photography, the path of light of bulb (in other words, that of the body member) as it moves through space for one complete cycle is photographed. The working area is kept relatively less illuminated while photograph is being taken. More than one camera may be used in different planes to get more details. After the film is developed, the resulting picture (cycle graph) sho...
