WiiArts is an experimental video, audio and image processing art project that invites viewers into a collaborative and expressive art experience. It uses pre-existing sensing technologies provided by Nintendo's WiiRemotes and a wireless Sensor Bar. In its current form, three interactors can work together to create and compose images and sounds.
Illumination created under the overarching theme of WiiArts is a real-time video art piece that draws fluid candlelight traces. In its current form, the projection screen becomes a shared drawing canvas, and up to three users can draw simultaneously with their own WiiRemotes. The candlelight source imagery is captured from three burning candles in real-time. Thus, the three candlelight traces drawn by three interactors can be composed together to create a dynamic drawing. Since this drawing uses light in a dark space, the overall process of drawing provides a contemplative aesthetic experience.
