Leviathan and V Squared Labs Collaborate on Three-Dimensional Live-Performance Visuals
Leviathan in Chicago and V Squared Labs in Los Angeles used real-time projection mapping and Microsoft Kinect hacking to create a mixture of live graphics and rendered media for display on-stage during Amon Tobin’s recent ISAM tour. The stage set included an array of boxes built into a structure that included a cubbyhole where Tobin performed. Original sci-themed images and other graphics were created for precisely aligned projection that used the stage set as a three-dimensional screen, and a Kinect Xbox motion controller was used to grab a live three-dimensional representation of Tobin himself.
