Activity – Radical Atoms https://ars.electronica.art/radicalatoms/en Ars Electronica Festival 2016 Tue, 28 Jun 2022 13:26:43 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.6 PIEdeck https://ars.electronica.art/radicalatoms/en/piedeck/ Mon, 01 Aug 2016 15:23:55 +0000 https://ars.electronica.art/radicalatoms/?p=1808 PIEdeck is an experimental interactive installation created for playful activities with multiple participants. Developed by the research group Playful Interactive Environments (PIE), it consists of a laser-tracking system, a public display and mobile virtual reality headsets. PIEdeck serves as an experimental environment to explore novel game concepts and other forms of co-located interaction in a hybrid-reality context, combining real physical movement with virtual content in a large-scale setting. The PIEdeck prototype allows virtual reality (VR) participants to walk through an immersive, abstract audiovisual world and interact with the environment. Passers-by also leave their own mark on the virtual world, creating traces that are visible to VR users and on the public display.
