TARDEOinteractivo_
‘Tardeo Interactivo’ means friends, music, mapping, visuals, technology and interaction. It is about unifying everything that we are passionate about and letting it flow. It’s about having a good time knowing when it starts but not when it ends.
The word ‘tardeo’ refers to the activity of going out for tapas or drinks in the afternoon in Spain. This project is inspired by that concept, creating a random evening where you meet other people while listening to music and enjoying a drink. However, in this case an interactive digital component is added, digital scenarios where the attendees are the main protagonists. These digital scenarios become the main element to enhance joy and fun, encouraging the imaginative participation of the attendees and generating a more human immersive experience.
To combine human relationships with technology interaction looks very attractive. It flourishes the most primitive humans’ instincts to meet with other individuals, but offering a digital background where people can escape the real world and enter into a new dimension.
In order to carry out this project, I created different interactive scenes using NOTCH VFX to design visual content and Kinect 2 device to capture both shape and movement of each participant in real-time. This motion capture serves as the main input to develop the previously designed visual content of the scenes. The final result is projected on a large surface in front of the participants.
