Perceptual Arena

Otherspace

Perceptual Arena is a realtime environment. In the default state completely empty, it creates an audio visual space texture as a coding of the user interaction. The interaction is simply to be in the space, to perceive it, to move around and grasp the resulting virtual clay, which defines the space and is the material for the further interaction.
The space correlates the individual perception and the perceived. The perceivable evolves through perception of it. To intervene in this process transforms the world, but can also push it out of balance and therefore destroy.
The world of polygons and sounds is created and constantly changed by the personal views, it only exists through the viewer.

Factors:
The complexity of the arena world results out of the total interrelation of all it´s factors which in the end all depend on the users input data.

The factors are:
the users view onto the space
the users movement in the space
a history of movement and view
the activity of a virtual sensor in the field of view which applies movement and viewing history onto the space
the total access with a data glove onto the space through the field of view
the virtual clay which is object and result of all this factors

The interface between things in space and the personal view is a virtual sensor. It slides over the world with the view and activates the perceived polygons. The veiwign history influences how polygons react. Any contemporary influence becomes historical and it can initialize further unpredictable changes. The more intense the view on a part of the space is, the more active the virtual sensor gets in this area and the more it causes the structure to unfold. Activated polygons start to move, they organize into clusters, get connected to each other or cell into multiples. The cpmplexity of the resulting virtual clay of structures is determined by the view. If polygons are outside the view they die after a certain lifetime
