This artwork allows the user to experience an augmented reality in which the flow of ribbons and particles can be controlled. It works by capturing a colour from an object (in this case, a green glove and the light from my mobile phone) and then using this object to drag the ribbons around the screen.

    Thanks Memo. Just been looking at some of your work too. Very impressive. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into OpenFrameworks.

    Thanks guys.

    @Alex. I'd be interested to see that. I'll keep an eye open

    sure, the installation is going up next Friday. The video will probably take a week more. I will share it with you.

    Very nice,
    this is basically some motion tracking right? Using the glove or cellphone as trackpoint

    Thanks to all for the great comments.

    @ZhiC - I'm tracking colour here rather than motion.

    @Dylan - This is actually all done in realtime using a webcam. I've used Processing to create it. Its a programming language built for artists and designers to get started with programming. You can make some incredible visuals using it. Have a look at processing.org if you're interested

    Nice idea. I can imagine the concept being applied to a large scale installation. Anyone with a cellphone could interact, pulling ribbons of color over huge projection surfaces.
