On January 15, you can see for yourself the mixed reality performance/participatory environment that is Senses Places at InterACT! on LEA4. There are two ways of interacting with your avatar from outside of the Second Life interface: the webcam interface and the wii mote. For the wii mote, you need a mac computer (that is the platform the program you download was written for), but for the webcam, all you need is the webcam, and the HUD available at Senses Places. Instructions are at the environment, too.
Mixed Reality Participatory Performance Environment
With livestream video of performers in Portugal and Japan who will also be in SL, as well as the opportunity for you to participate in SL, with or without a mixed reality component of your own with webcam or wii mote. If you have either of those, you can manipulate your avatar from outside SL. Come over and experiment with other people who are doing that, too, and see what it's like.
Instructions and a HUD are available at the Senses Places environment,

PROGRAMA
Português
Nesta última performance participativa de realidade mista no contexto do InterACT! com a CILxJam, vamos ter uma última oportunidade experimentarmos as interfaces de forma corporealizada através do movimento entre corpos físicos, imagens e avatares numa interacção de grupo. Começaremos por receber os participantes guiando-os na corporealização das interfaces do projecto: Livestream, Webcam and Nitendo’s Wii mote. Introduzindo os participantes na relação com o seu e outros corpos físicos e imagem video através do Livestream, e com avatars através da Webcam e da Wii mote, pondo-as a funcionar na hora.
Seguidamente prosseguiremos com a jam-performance participativa própriamente dita, numa perspectiva de Underscore, improvisando em conexão consciente com as muliplas percepções cinestésicas, visuais, auditivas, tacteis, de equilíbrio, temperatura, etc, deixando-as guiar as nossas acções. Esta abordagem inclusiva veem emergindo durante as jams semanais com experiencias de practicas somáticas relacionadas, como o BMC, Release, Alexander,Tai Chi, Authentic Movement, Reiki e Butoh.
PROGRAM
English
In this last participatory performance we will have one more chance to learn how to interact through your movement with your and other avatars. We will start welcoming the physical and virtual participants, leading them to embodied interaction with 3 types of interfaces: Livestream, Webcam and Nitendo’s Wii mote. Introducing participants to the relation with their image through a livestream broadcast, and with the avatar through Webcam and Wii mote.
Next we will improvise with one or all of the interfaces focusing on the grounding while interacting with ourselves and others in the physical and virtual space, as physical, image or/and avatar bodies, becoming aware of the multiple perceptions shifting and progressing leading our connected actions/choices. Movement and contact/connection (physical and virtual) will start slow for allowing the awareness of sensing the micro events and interactions, multiple channels of local and remote communication.
Sobre o Senses Places
Português
Senses Places/Lugares Sentidos é um ambiente participativo e de performance em realidade mista. Uma colaboração em dança-tecnologia gerando interfaces multimodais para o corpo inteiro canalizada para uma abordagem de dança somática transcultural. Senses Places stressa a consciência e integração perceptiva simultânea local-remota, em que os participantes e ambientes se encontram e envolvem cinestéticamente/sinestéticamente.
Que realidades corporealizadas e trocas culturais específicas emergem neste envolvimento multi-participativo? Ligados entre si e a avatars através das interfaces sugeridas: Livestream, webcam, Wii mote e, brevemente o Kinect, tudo depende da atitude dos participantes na experiência interactiva com os seus corpos físicos, mediações vídeo, animações dos avatars, e/ou alterações ambientais.
About Senses Places
English
Senses Places is a playful mixed reality performance environment for audience participation. An ongoing dance-technology collaboration generating whole body multimodal interfacings keen to a somatic cross-cultural approach; Senses Places stresses the awareness and integration of simultaneous perceptive, local-remote connections, where participants and environments meet and engage kinesthetic/synesthetically.
What emerging embodied realities and cultural specific exchanges will surface by the multi-participant varied involvement? Linked to avatars through the suggested interfaces: Livestream, webcam, Wiimote©, and soon Kinect©, it all depends on the participants’ attitude throughout the interactive experience through their own and each others' physical bodies, video mediations, avatar moves, and/or environmental changes.
