Interative Installation-Work in Progress

Concept

I’m planning to make an interactive installation that combines projection and live movement.

 

Workflow

The setup involves using TouchDesigner to create an interactive patch, which will be projected onto the wall. A dancer will perform in front of the projection, and I’ll use a kinetic or thermal camera to capture the dancer’s movements in real-time, feeding that data back into TouchDesigner to dynamically interact with the dancer’s motion.

 

Questions for improvement

 

How to make it more engaging and unique? and more relating to the prompt?

I’m still working on elevating the idea, like how can I use the captured movement to create a deeper, more immersive interaction between the dancer and the projection? Also, to be more related to the prompt, should the projection respond to specific types of movement, emotional intensity, or body part focus? I’m considering how the visuals could evolve based on the dancer’s movement patterns, creating a temporal “portrait” that reveals something hidden or essential about them.

 

I’d love suggestions on how to push this concept further.
