Real-time, anthropomorphic 3-D scanning and voxel display system using consumer depth cameras as an interactive means of individual artistic expression through light

Abstract

The research presented in this paper revolves around the development of an interactive light installation called NEO-David. The focus is on the development of kinetic light within the boundaries of real-time generated anthropomorphic form. The case study seeks to address the issues related to democratic aspects of art and participatory artistic development. The paper presents the setup of such a system and explores different technical development challenges of the design.
