Ingenuity
One of many performances at IngenuityFest this weekend centers on the work of local innovator Jason Walters who has combined a Microsoft Kinect Sensor (the kind we're familiar with from Xbox and other gaming applications) with custom software to create something we find way, way cooler than commercial video games. As Walters' collaborator, local dancer / choreographer Alyssa Lee Wilmot, moves within range of the sensor, a very cool avatar of her movement is projected onto the screen. Click on the video and see what we mean.
At Ingenuity, you can find Walters and Wilmot in the catacombs (near the Superior Viaduct Entrance on the West side of the Cuyahoga River) on the subway level of the Detroit-Superior Bridge during IngenuityFest 2011. They're listed on the schedule as "Jason Walters' Spyrobeam" under -- not dance but -- "interactive art," Fri 9/16 from 5PM to 1AM; Sat 9/17 from noon to 1AM; and Sun 9/18 from noon to 5PM.
