Member's Projects -- 'Light Interrupted' by Adam Synnott

Introducing a new category here on the blog, Member’s Projects. We’d like to show off some of the things people are making, taking apart, remaking or whatever! Our first project is by Adam Synnott, and is called ‘Light Interrupted’. It was recently featured in ‘Serial Space’ in Chippendale.

Light Interrupted Light Interrupted is a rear projected FTIR multi-touch display using a combination of Touch Designer and Max/MSP the screen. Adam is currently in development of a muti-touch 3d painter/modeller, an RSS fed globe, some reactive grass and a 3d fish tank.
