Isle of reflections

Abstract

Isle of Reflections is an interactive lighting installation that can only be remotely explored via videotelephony. Viewers visit the island filled with iridescent lights and colorful reflections through Zoom, a popular web-based video communication tool. When the viewers see the lights and shadows that respond immediately to their voice through the screen, they recognize that they are interacting with a distant physical space in real-time. The viewers move between "breakout rooms" in Zoom to explore this virtual island filled with an immersive spectrum of light and color. Each room provides live scenes of the island from different viewing angles.
