Description
Tracking the Net is a collective, interactive platform, a multi-user interface platform that combines motion capture and virtual reality.

The installation has been projected to host interactive teams, which can experience a shared environment in local and in remote locations through networking. Visitors can freely interact and navigate within the different virtual environments by touching, pulling, and stretching the "Net".

The visitors are not required to manipulate any electronic devices such as joystick, mouse etc. They can use their own limbs, their motor capabilities and intuition to navigate through the VR environment, manipulate objects, move between scenes and play with sounds. When the interactive visitor deforms the elastic net, he/she activates the X/Y/Z translation rotation or scale of parts of the VR world or objects. These structural modifications of the virtual environment trigger other actions, e.g. other structural modifications, key-framed animations, video sequences or sounds.
