Flypad

The company has also been commissioned to create a major, new permanent installation for THEpUBLIC in West Bromwich UK, due to open in 2006.

Using Augmented Reality, Flypad will generate avatars from a 'data body' - information submitted by visitors on their entry to the gallery and as they progress through the space. In the installation, up to twelve players will be able to fly their avatars through the gallery’s large central atrium, while attempting holds and forming moves with other avatars.

In its appearance, Flypad draws on Peking Opera, Mexican wrestling, facemasks, and skydiving.
Flypad will be a permanent exhibit using augmented reality for up to twelve players. (source: http://presence.stanford.edu:3455/Collaboratory/348)
