Core77 conceived, designed, programmed
and art-directed a 70-foot interactive video wall composed
of 12 rear-projection video cubes and multiple wireless
joystick controls. The "Immersion Wall" allows
three simultaneous users to select and navigate dozens of
office furniture environments, utilizing rotation, zoom,
and fly-through motions. However, the environments shown
are not "virtual;" they are actual photographic
environments using tried-and-true QuickTime VR technology.
As such, they provide very real and honest representations
of offices outfitted with Herman Miller products.
Much of the wall's effectiveness
is due to its scale: since the environments appear full-size
in front of the user, the immersive quality is optimized.
The interactivity is enhanced through the use of sophisticated
sound design with focused overhead speaker cones and ambient
sounds.
Following the Neocon Trade Fair,
Core77 redesigned the wall application as a CD-ROM based
software for use by salespeople in the showrooms and dealerships
around the globe.
