Parallax is composed of three interactive video projections using very powerful high resolution video projectors and four computers with an infra-red remote visual sensing system for viewer interaction. On each screen is visible a number of figures. Each figure is individually interactive, with the audience and with each other. The piece uses object oriented and behavioural programming techniques.

Each figure is individually interactive and the viewer is fully modelled within the interactive system. The work will work with any number of viewers. Each viewer generates a three dimensional parallax view of four different figures on each video projection screen. As the viewer moves the three dimensional view on each of the three screens thus generated is modified to account for their new point of view. Each viewer generates their own perpective point of view and these are then montaged, on all the screens, into three integrated images such that each viewer is able to see all three scenes from the points of view of all the other viewers simultaneously.
