CONVERGENCE

An interactive light sculpture created for Moogfest 2016
OVERVIEW

Convergence is an interactive light sculpture created for Moogfest 2016 and commissioned by Research Triangle Park. Convergence requires your input. Touching its LED columns triggers animated patterns that grow from your fingertips, up towards the sky, and converge at the apex of the pyramid. When touched by multiple people at once, colors merge and unique light systems are created. The volumetric display becomes a living, breathing demonstration of collaborative, human interaction.

TECHNOLOGY

36 LED rods of light with built-in capacitive touch sensors read user touch input and activate forces on a real-time particle visual system that is wrapped around the pyramid form of the sculpture.
