Akio Kamisato, Satoshi Shibata, Takehisa Mashimo “Moony” - Sensitive Smoke Project

Virtual butterflies that flutter about in space and react to the presence of visitors—if you touch them or try to catch them, they fly away; but if you hold your hand steady, they return and, with a little luck, alight on your outstretched hand. The “Moony” project is meant to make such a scenario possible. Its aim is to develop an intuitive interface that can be used in conjunction with smoke or steam, projections and sensors. A forerunner project has already been carried out. Water vapor serves as the projection surface for the visualizations. The challenge in taking this to the next level is developing the projection medium further to the point that it is itself invisible and the user can focus exclusively on the projection. Tremendous potential is inherent in the development of this project, which could ultimately make it possible to work with computers in ways that go beyond manipulating a keyboard and a mouse.

naja, bekomm ich wenigstens ein cyberarts buch.
