Illumaverse: a unique 2023 Austin immersive art experience where Earth’s cherished holiday traditions are remixed, reimagined, and reinterpreted. Explore 6,000 sq ft of installations built by local artists, all designed to transport you through a portal to another world where Earth’s holiday season has been given a cosmic makeover.
With Interactive Nature I led the design and implementation of an interactive installation for Illumaverse. The concept was to create an experience where audience members could interact with a virtual snow simulation. To accomplish the realtime snow simulation we made use of Nvidia Flex within TouchDesigner, for the tracking and interaction we used Yolov8 to track audience members with an IR camera. Audience members can discover three hidden snowflakes on the ground, when all the snowflakes are covered by an audience member - a christmas tree is revealed!
