Where are you?: an immersive experience in the panoscope 360°

Published:23 October 2006Publication History

ABSTRACT

The Panoscope 360® is a single channel immersive display composed of a large inverted dome, a hemispheric lens and projector, a computer and a surround sound system. From within, visitors can navigate in real-time in a virtual 3D world using a handheld 3-axis pointer/selector. In Where are you?, the featured program, immersed visitors are invited to explore an artificial world of many scales and to meet other live and pre-recorded beings. The program puts the subject (visitor, actor, protagonist) in control of his/her position, the path and speed of his/her journey and, more interestingly perhaps, the scale at which he/she is prepared to "exist.
