When viewed on an iPad — the box's dimensions are in direct proportion to the device — the dances can be reframed to confound the viewer's sense of orientation.
By looking at a superpixel in concert with its neighbors, analyzing changes such as gradations of texture, the algorithm makes a judgment about how far it is from the viewer and what its orientation in space is.
Most of them seem to be searching for an experience of love that most viewers, regardless of sexual orientation, will be able to relate to.
Some interactions are simple, relying on nothing more than the orientation of the viewer's head.
In one version of this contrast, there are two figures differing only in their orientation to the viewer (on a page, the top and bottom of the square is parallel with the top and bottom of the page; while the diamond is just like the square except rotated 45 degrees around its center).
There are a number of rapid cuts in the film that throw off the viewer's sense of spatial orientation, and Dutch angles are used to imply that reality is off-kilter.
To pull this off, he used Processing to program the entire work, and a Vicon tracking system to pull position and orientation data from the viewer.
A synteny viewer depicts the chromosomal location and orientation of orthologous genes in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
In a charming and light-hearted manner, "Kiss It Forward" emphasizes that all love is equal regardless of sexual orientation, and it encourages viewers to "kiss it forward".
A more recent exhibit, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," took an interactive approach to privacy and sexual orientation, using mirrors to engage the viewer.
