ENESS Interactive 3d projection mapping
KingPower
The King power complex located in Bangkok Thailand,
enjoyed a nightly interactive projection spectacle
over three months.

It all began with a 15 minute projection and live dance
performance, celebrating King Power 20th anniversary,
during October followed by a series of interactive music
and 3d animation scapes till - New Years Eve 2009.
Five Barco projectors where used spaning the length
of the 90 meter building, creating a 6400x1024 pixel
canvas for ENESS to blanket with 3d real-time
animation and sound delight. Using our in-house
3d projection engine "Pixile" we were able to map
and match every surface of the building in days.
Any tech slavey person would assume this type of
huge installation would require months of preparation
and series of networked machines to achieve the task.
We did it all with 1 machine and 1 month. Try that..








"Cross section in space" created by Eness
Cross Sections in Space

Cross sections in space -
a solid cross section of time and space.
Virtual 3D bodies passing through the sections deflect
and ricochet thousands of surrounding light particles.
The viewer directly affects the gravity, direction and
speed as they walk through the space. Beautiful
and infinite formations are created.

"Openhouse" by Francis Bitonti and Brian Osborn
The illuminated canopy fills the upper portion of a small courtyard in the French Quarter. As participants fill the courtyard the space is transformed by a field of kinetic devices.
“Our objective is to create a fluid public condition which is programmed by habitation and social interaction.” Participants control the architecture through the seating. The ceiling is created from a grid of robotic components. The components randomly contract and expand while at rest. When the space is empty only one turns on at a time. As people begin to occupy the seats under the canopy, more components begin flickering on and off. Two people will cause three units to randomly dance around three people will activate four and four people will activate 5 etc.
