The project entitled "Promenade" sets out to examine the
connections between real and virtual space. Using a real
handheld navigation device, the visitor can explore virtual
rooms while walking around the real space of the exhibition
room. The unusual spatial illusions displayed in the halls
of "Promenade" address the ambigous relations between three-dimensional
space and its two-dimensional representation as perceived
from a moving viewpoint.
The
interface of "Promenade" is an ultrasonic position tracker
built into a torch: the position measured by the tracker
determines the position of the viewpoint in the virtual
space. By walking around the exhibition room holding the
navigation-device, the visitor can explore the dynamically
changing virtual space, in which the geometry of the scene
is continuously modified according to the viewer's movements.
By approaching the projected image the visitor can step
into a new space: at a certain distance, the virtual world
will automatically switch to the next room, where new illusions
of perspective can be found.
