14. M Interactive Particles
M
January 2012 - June 2012 | included in the Villa Quitapenas* Show
This installation involves video tracking, Kinect camera, a des-
cending particle simulation, dance, performers and the audience.
Kinect is used as 3D and infrared camera, to locate objects and
people moving in real time (video tracking).
A program with Processing and Box2D (physics engine library)
process the data captured by the camera to generate particles
that react to the performers and audience.

16. M Mapping Scenography
M
June 2012 - September 2012 | included in the Villa Quitapenas* Show
Mapping is a technique that involves projecting visual images
and 3D animations on real surfaces for effects of alterations with
the movement and real-time 3D. I have done a mapping
scenography at different times of the performance.
Playing with the visual perception of the public transforming the
2D drawing into a 3D structure with movements that also changes
the position on stage during the play.

17. M 3D Shadows
M
May 2012 - September 2012 | included in the Villa Quitapenas* Show
I have investigated Blender Game Engine, the virtual lights and
the similarities between the real and the virtual scene.
I have duplicated the boxes in the real scene in the 3D
scene. In real time in the performance, I move, as a technician,
the virtual lights, touching the buttons in keyboard before defined
(Game Engine). Then projected it on stage, and thus the virtual
shadows of the stage, interacts with the actor and the audience.

18. M Projector Shutter (Arduino)
M
May 2012 | Work together with Aurora Diago
Realization of a projector shutter with Arduino.
I did also a detailed manual and an explainatory video
for the Arduino and Theater community.
The projector shutter can completely obscure a scene,
or switch from one program to
another without showing a direct screenshots.
It is especially useful in theaters.

19. M Gamuza Interactive Script
M
March 2012
Audiovisual and interactive scripts done with
Gamuza (Open Frameworks based) for a disco
party on March 31th 2012, at the
Music Box Club (Valencia).
Graphics react to pitch and volume of music
creating geometric shapes and colors according to
the value taking these fields.
