Interactive mirror, user submersion technique.

Interactive mirror

I have recently been playing around with a new application for my Interactive mirror technique, i call this the “User submersion technique”. It basically uses the reflective qualities of the two-Way mirror to completely submerge a user into an interactive enviroment via the use of motion tracking and a static backdrop.

In this environment a foreground is rear projected onto the mirrors surface and the background is placed behind the user, this therefor creates a field of depth. i also slung in some volume detection actions withing the test so that not only is motion and positioning detected but the users voice aswell. All these contribute to full sensory interactive experience. The next step for this is for me to create a full size working model.

Please note: a majority of the below footage was shot without the backdrop as it proved very difficult to position the camera in such a tight space.
