Digital pond is an interactive table. it simulates Interference Behavior of colliding waves. The viewer is asked to place chips on the Display. Immediately a camera tracks the chips and the position Is translated into an origin of a wave. on the display appears an pulsing inteference pattern.
The project was developed as part of a group work by Fabian Friese, Daniel Schreiber and Nelly Möller.
The interaction of the viewer and the generated interference pattern takes place via chips (picture on the right). These chips are produced with a 3D printer.
The patterns on the chips are fiducials. These are part of the free processing library TUIO Processing, which facilitates the Camera-tracking of the chips.
