Responsive public space - performative immersive setting in public environments.

Abstract

Responsive Public Space (RPS) is a performative spatial environment integrating audio-visual composition responsive to the engagement of participants among themselves. In an interdisciplinary collaboration architects, artists, composers and computer vision specialists developed an environment in which participants can enter, move around, and - through interaction with each other - experience different fragments of a space-sensitive soundscape and its visual representation (sonification). A high-end tracking system allows multiple participants to be reliably tracked.
