The Digital Tea Party

For The Digital Tea Party installation at Tent Digital ordinary tea cups were used as environment controllers to show the possibilities of the system using opensource video tracking software. Visual symbols or 'tags' were assigned to the bottom of the cups to be recognised by software via a camera embedded in the table. Moving and rotating the series of cups on the table top triggered video projections of moving image, dynamic textures, sound environments and lighting schemes, allowing the user to discover their own scenarios and actions.
