Roger Water – Parametrically generated, animated and populated A/V experience

Category Javascript Members Three Js People Posted on:

Created for and in collaboration with an electronic music band Niagra, Roger Water is a web based interactive 360 VR and live A/V experience by Stefano Maccarelli. The project is an a endless immersive exploration of a generative, infinite open world, set in a surreal Earth-like world, of a parallel universe connected to ours, populated by objects from modern terrestrial civilisation and terrestrial creatures that behave in unusual ways.

These landscapes are parametrically generated, animated and populated in real time, thanks to real time sound analysis, as the traveler explores them using their smartphone, in 360 or VR mode (Cardboard mode). The sound of Niagara determines in real time the shape, the colors, the mountainous and marine shape. You can fly in this infinite and ever-changing generative open world, accelerate, go up or down, launch objects and creatures, follow them, or just stay and contemplate it.

Palimpsest – Collective memory through Virtual Reality

Created at the Bartlett School of Architecture / Interactive Architecture, Palimpsest uses 3D scanning and virtual reality to record urban spaces and the communities that live in them. The project aims to question/test the implication if the past, present, and future city could exist in the same place, layering personal stories and local histories of the city at a 1:1 scale.

The Reality Editor – Networking functional relationships between physical objects

Developed at the MIT Media Lab’s Fluid Interfaces Group, Reality Editor allows users to merge digital and physical realities into a unified experience.

Composed using Processing, the piece is a hybrid between realtime debug-view and animation. Camera orbits about Engine cylinders dispersed in three-dimensional space.

UVA vs Massive Attack: “United Snakes” using openFrameworks

The software created was a gesture-based, “keyframeless” animation system, which uses soft-body dynamics to create motion in the same way you would with puppets – by literally grabbing bits of the 3D mesh and pulling it around with the mouse, and recording live.
