This sounds like SO much fun! Not just to watch, but the creativity and knowledge of the people who created this interactive technology. To think that you could have something as interactive as this in general, but then to incorporate it on stage, in front of an audience is amazing. Projections is definitely the new and up and coming thing in terms of technically savvy shows, so to see the beginnings of what is yet to come is amazing!
Wow, that's some amazing technology. I'm not quite sure how it constitutes as "interactive though? I was expecting something with audience participation in the determining the visuals of the performance. Of course, that is probably a terrible terrible idea know what user generated content has contributed to internet culture. Never mind, I'm rambling.
Still...what if you had a music visualization system like the iTunes visualizer, with random effects or effects controlled by variables like the temperature in the room? The projections would be different every time you saw it.
This sounds amazing!!! Its seems similar to theatre of the senses but maybe better. I really want to se this production! The birds and colors changing to the different sound inflections and color changes would be amazing!
