The installation has 2 parts:
- 4 pcs touch sensitive controllers with light effects
- kaleidoscope generator
Controllers
The light effects are visible through the translucent surfaces of the controller, which itself is touch sensitive, and it controls the light effects. When a sensitive surface is touched, the device changes its light effect, and plays a sound effect. Each unit has a built-in microphone, and some of the built in light effects are sound reactive. The controllers are connected together in a network, they can control each others effects, and control the kaleidoscope generator. They have 3 legged stands and can be spaced farther away.
Kaleidoscope
The kaleidoscope generator displays its generated content through a projector. The device has multiple modes of operation, each mode has at least 12 parameters, which are controllable via the touch sensitive controllers. Each touch (or command) has an instantly visible change on the display. All the modes - except the first one - displays generative content, which have lots of parameters for creating unique visuals from the possible millions of combinations.
The system can be used with 1 - 4 controllers, the inputs and actions are fully programmable.
1. Images
This is a traditional digital kaleidoscope, which uses an images as the input. It has multiple images, they can be switched with the controllers. The images are customizeable by, it has the possibility for displaying a logo for an event or company, or any other custom design.
2. Lines
The software generates lines that are moving through an image. The movement, color, amount, width and many more parameters are depending on the inputs. In this mode, most of the parameters are not changing the whole image, instead it always generates at the center and moving outwards. This mode offers the most possibility, because the generated image not only depends on the current value of the parameters, it depends on the history of the last 10s.
3. Zoom
Infinitely zooming shapes. Custom shape can be used.
4. Grid
A grid of shapes rotated, scaled, colored and more.
