Afluentes Interactive Installation. Made with Cámara Lúcida. "So similar is the flowing to the inert that we do not know which one streams." Ibn Zamrak (Granada, 1333 - 1394). The fountain of lions in Alhambra. Afluentes is a toy that consists of a circular sandbox where people can build their own landscapes. There's a water flow that goes through the tracks created by players, turning the installation into a construction toy to make watercourses. Featured by KinectHacks: "You can create instant wonders with the land you’ve created! The Kinect Sand Landscapes Toy projects colorful visuals and worldy bodies to an actual patch of earth created by the user. This video by Christian Parsons displays how the Kinect’s camera is able to produce this interactive “sandbox”. In the video, the patch of earth is seen and then becomes lit up. Through the Kinect, the depth of the earth is detected and mountain ranges are formed as well as river beds that constantly move. The user then can change the earth by interacting with it personally the visuals change. Users can form new mountains and set the course of rivers to run. This interactive “God” mode immerses users into an experience of creation and majesty."  Tech Specs.
