Made some good headway this week! Updates below
Proof of concept: I built a miniature representation of what the installation may look like. I'm still working on the cave structure. I've consulted with a few architects and it seems as though creating a dome or hanging a tent from the ceiling seem like the best options.
Aside from the Proof of Concept we made some progress on creating animated content. Rutul was able to take the depth and point cloud data from the Kinect and rebuild that into a 3D mesh. We're planning to experiment with emitting particles from the mesh to give the projections a 3D and organic feel. Kaley played around with particles and fluid shaders and created this cool effect below!
It looks great!
