VideoMob (Interactive Installation)

VideoMob is a collaboration between artist Emily Grenader, UCSD Computer Science Engineer (CSE) faculty Nadir Weibel and engineers Danilo Gasques Rodrigues and Fernando Nos. Visitors record a video portrait by lining up their hand with the drawn hand on the display monitor. Using a Kinect sensor to key out the background, the video portraits are instantly inserted into a dynamic crowd of individuals. The VideoMob platform enables real life interactions to form out of virtual relationships discovered within the collective visualized community.
