We created an open source software solution that allows users to easily send content to the LED wall and the seven projectors also in the space. To accommodate the street facing exhibitions this initial version of the software also has a built in scheduling system to control the timings of exhibition content.
The open source nature of the system means that tutors, students and exhibitors can add, edit and build onto the system. The software is created with a rapid prototyping tool called TouchDesigner. This highly creative programming environment has become a standard for installation design. It is a versatile data processing hub which can accommodate many types of inputs and outputs, from cameras, sensors and scanners to LEDs, projectors and robotics. We're very interested to see how this installation develops overtime.
