The Iamascope is an interactive multimedia artwork. The Iamascope combines computer
video, graphics, vision, and audio technology enabling performers to create striking
imagery and sound. The result is an aesthetically uplifting interactive experience. At an
installation, the user takes the place of a colourful piece of floating glass inside a
computer generated kaleidoscope, and simultaneously views the kaleidoscopic image of
themselves on a huge screen in real time. By applying image processing to the
kaleidoscopic image, the performer's body movements directly control music in a
beautiful dance of symmetry with the image. The image processing uses simple intensity
differences over time which are calculated in real-time. The responsive nature of the
whole system allows users to have an intimate, engaging, satisfying, multimedia
experience.
