The Wind Tunnel

Louis-Philippe DEMERS / Armin PURKRABEK / Phillip SCHULZE

The Wind Tunnel is a large-scale interactive architecture installation. It depicts aerodynamic test chambers via a long and narrow interactive corridor. By walking along this corridor, visitors experience virtual air turbulences all around their bodies. The projected visuals are synthesized in real-time by various particle systems. The audio renders the sound of airflow by using real-time envelope modifications of white noise. The sensing surface is retrofitted into the corridor using a proprietary multi-touch ruggedized capacitive matrix.
