A NEW KIND OF GALLERY/AUDITORIUM

An interactive 3D environment in which the user navigates and explores with her eyes, ears, and hands. This continues work involving 3D visualization and spatialized sound which we have been doing for over 5 years.
New equipment allows us to add haptics to these visual/auditory environments. Haptics seem to be an important step in what could be a new artistic paradigm.
