URBAN FUTURE (2011)
BIG (big.dk), Kollision (kollision.dk) and Schmidhuber + Partner (schmidhuber.de) teamed up to bringing BIG’s vision of future urban mobility to life for AUDI at Design Miami 2011, running from November 30th to December 4th adjacent to Art Basel Miami Beach. BIG originally presented the concept as an entry for the 2010 AUDI Urban Future Award introducing a future city paved with a digital surface that liberates the streets from existing boundaries and allows for a new flexibility of public use. The 190 m2 three-dimensional LED installation provides a glimpse of the future city where the public space is shared between pedestrians and driverless cars. The entire surface would be infused with a continuous flow of information allowing for real-time interaction between vehicles and their environment.
Kollision made the real-time graphics engine and the tracking software that gets live inputs from 11 Kinect cameras above the visitors heads. Hereby the movement of passers-by are processed into a generative artwork that feeds back into the LED panels. The installation sets the stage for Audi’s showcar, Audi A2 concept, which has its U.S debut at the design fair and is dedicated to future urban mobility, capable of communicating with its environment. The exhibition car continuously emits arrows showing its driving path, navigating between visitors at the stand.

One graphics computer receiving data from six tracking computers: five with two kinects and one with one kinect"
Hi, great work! =)
I just wanted to know how were you able to pass the data of the 6 computers to the single graphics computer? And what application and code has been used in this setup?
Thanks! =)
Thanks for your interest!
We used a UDP network/ Open Sound Control and used Cinder, FLash and Java :-)
