Changing Matters

Graduation project by Lorenz Kleiser

“Changing Matters” explores the concept of a playful and abstract virtual representation of oneself by using a camera that tracks movements of the user and translates them onto an avatar representation. The virtual environment is enhanced with sound that complements the user's movements and empowers them with control.
The project utilizes SARMotion, a software developed by Florian Bruggisser, along with Unity data that is processed using Max/MSP and Ableton Live for sound generation.
The experience encourages exploration of the virtual body within the immersive sound and landscape.
