Lightwall Interaction

Made by Anna Henson and Javier Argota Sánchez-Vaquerizo

We were challenged to create a new form of interaction for the Lightwall installation at the Carnegie Library in Knoxville. Working with the Lightwall's existing API, we created and implemented a prototype using Processing and TouchOSC, and shared it with the library staff and kids. Then, the fun began!

Created: December 12th, 2016

The Lightwall monitor inside the library, visualising the light patterns in real time as they happen on the outside installation.

The workflow :  from a custom TouchOSC layout created for the Lightwall, used on a mobile device, to the Processing sketch, into the Lightwall through IP, and using the Lightwall library to generate light patterns in response to the user's interactions on the mobile device.

Playing with the interface!

  "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."  Third Clarke's law. 

Here, the kids could make magic with light, just like their favorite storybook wizards they got to know in the library.
