A 3D Immersive Audiovisual Space

• The spatial dimension of Acoustic Shadows relies mainly on sound.
• Two different types of auditory simulation of space are used simultaneously
  • the speakers of the surround sound system of the theater
  • a set of hyper directional speakers

An Interactive Environment

• The room is made visually and acoustically sensitive to the presence and movements of the audience by the installation of a camera and a set of two microphones.
• Data from these devices are sent to a computer running the software Pure Data for real-time analysis and generation of visual response.
• The modulations coming from the left and right microphones are subtracted and compared to the differential of the delayed original signal.
• The video signal is identically analyzed in terms of movements.
• The two analyses are then compared to trigger the computed Acoustic Shadow.
