Seattle Design Festival: Travel in Place In-Person Display

Calendar/Event Details

Travel in Place is a storefront experience that allows users to come together and understand the notion of time on an unexpected, virtual level. When someone walks by, a video sensor will detect them and project them as a mirror on the storefront screen. Once their presence is made virtual, anything can happen; overlays of other passersbys will start to fill the screen. They may have walked by an hour ago, or two days ago but the experience will start to appear as if the streetscape is bustling once again. If they were to linger, specific (but unknown) gestures will trigger the virtual backdrop to change; to take on the form of another time coalesced with the present.
