"MIC Exploration Space" shall be used for the communication between participants through images and extended integration of real-time interaction in virtual space.
The place functions as a new form of integration space, where real-time integration of development pictures, artificial life , as well as artistic features will display an evolving environment, that can be topic related and refer to and represent the individuality of the participant.
In the future sound as well as precise gesture recognition shall be implemented as well.
Integrating the human participants on both sides of the interaction set-up into a common virtual space, a shared environment shall be created, which functions as a place of exchange and interaction. The advantage of having a shared 3 dimensional environment is, that it lets the participants interact with each other in a more efficient, natural and creative way.
