In a nut shell:
* What: Mind controlled video installation
* Why: To Investigate human experience: symbiosis between the emotive nature of stimuli and technological quantification/adaptation, manipulating & creating new stimuli
* Where: Inside a 360 degree ‘Immersive cinema’, a concave screen also used as a planetarium. Plymouth, England.
* When: Project completed 19 June 2009
* How: Main Software = PureData + Biotrace and Python code. Technologies = Electroencephalography + other biometric ‘readers’ +Bluetooth + Networking. Hardware= Nexus device + electrodes + digital dome cinema + 2 PC’s + Photographic and video equipment + patience (limitless resource required)
Using EEG electrodes attached to one’s head the viewer can interact with an immersive video installation via brain waves and stress levels. Different video clips and audio clips play dependant on the immersants individual brain waves and stress levels.
What the Immersant is thinking or feeling is reflected in the video and sounds for other people who were inside the dome.
