levelHead: Moving Around In A Tiny Digital World


levelHead v1.0, 3 cube speed-run (spoiler!) from Julian Oliver on Vimeo.

New Zealand artist Julian Oliver's latest work, levelHead, allows viewers of the piece to interact with a 3D world by simply moving wooden blocks around in front of a web cam. How his work differs from most motion capture controlled art installations, is that the physical item that one uses to control the experience is replaced with a tiny digital world. Through moving and rotating coded blocks, the "player" attempts to move a tiny trapped man through an elaborate, interlocking labyrinth stretching one's spatial memory and logical reasoning skills.

A nice gallery of shots of levelHead is available here:
