3D Display Built from Yarn and Kinect

Craft & Design

Strands of white yarn treated to beams from a digital projector make up the Lumarca 3D display. Check out the video!

Lumarca is a truly volumetric display which allows viewers to see three dimensional images and motion. The system requires only a computer, a projector, and common materials found at most hardware stores. This provides an affordable platform for artists to design compelling content that conveys information, narrative, and aesthetic information in a new way. Lumarca is a collaboration between Albert Hwarng, Matt Parker, and Elliot Woods.
