Bringing Art and Technology to Life: The Rise of Interactive Installations
Imagine an art installation where the artwork isn’t static – it responds to your presence. Or a science museum exhibit allowing you to explore dinosaur worlds through interactive panning and zooming. Increasingly, these immersive installations are transforming how we experience modern art and technology, blurring the lines between observer and participant.
At the heart of these experiences lies computer vision, a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that uses machine learning to extract meaningful information from digital images. High-quality visual data, the foundation of these computer vision systems, is typically provided by industrial cameras.
vvvv Group and The Imaging Source are pioneering this field. The vvvv toolkit, a visual live-programming environment, integrates seamlessly with The Imaging Source’s industrial cameras. vvvv allows users to rapidly prototype and ultimately produce large media environments through real-time video synthesis and programming. The toolkit leverages IC Imaging Control 4, enabling parallel access to streams from one or multiple cameras.
