Light Ripples at Maitreya 2010 from ENESS on Vimeo.

A few days ago, i stumbled across a really nice piece of playful interaction.

The project is entitled »Light Ripples«. It focuses on the aspect of liquid illuminations. ENESS; the interactive agency behind this project are based in Australia and have some really fun and exciting projects to look at.

For this project specifically, they use a camera to track eight floating balls onto a projection. These balls then attract projected shapes onto the liquid surface. Once a new ring has impacted with another ring, a new sound gets produced. It reminded me of when you drop an object into water and you see the water ripples spread out.

The software they have used is called ‘Pixile’. As far as i am aware, the software has been made in house.
