installation
The talented flash developers at BLITZ in L.A. created a great interactive video wall installation for ADOBE events.
The project , which allows uers to “paint” 3D particles and strokes on a transparent projection wall using 2 nintendo Wii controllers,
is a flash application in HD resolution. It uses flash actionscript and the groundbreaking Papervision3D engine.
The results are posted to flickr:
