Jeffrey Shaw and Dennis Del favero - AVIE

AVIE -Advanced Visualisation and Interaction Environment

Project Overview

Jeffrey Shaw and Dennis Del Favero
with Matthew McGinity, Ardrian Hardjono and Volker Kuchelmeister

AVIE is the world’s first 360-degree stereoscopic immersive interactive visualisation system that includes a motion tracking systems and a multi-channel audio system. Driven by an experimental framework, it uses a suite of cutting edge hardware and software resources enabling the development of applications in Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence.

AVIE has been installed as core visualisation infrastructure at ZKM, Centre for Art and media, Karlsruhe, Germany, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Rensselaer Polytechnic University, New York, USA, where it forms the centre piece of next generation research and teaching programs. Museum Victoria, Melbourne, has installed an AVIE for its current Dynamic Earth exhibition.

AVIE -Advanced Visualisation and Interaction Environment (2004)

"The AVIE developed by Jeffrey Shaw and Dennis Del Favero consists of a 360° stereoscopic immersive interactive visualisation environment with motion and shape tracking systems and a multi-channel audio system. It is a set of state-of-the-art resources that enables the development and study of applications in the fields of immersive visualisation, immersive sonification, and human interaction design."

Project AVIE - 2004

The Project AVIE is documented on the iCinema website with Quicktime video clips online

Many projects both current and past are documented on the iCinema website (New South Wales, Australia). The iCinema Centre for Interactive Cinema Research, established in 2001, ...brings together researchers and postgraduate students in new media, digital aesthetics, sociology of art, film theory, multimedia design, computer science, artificial intelligence and software/hardware engineering. The iCinema research program focuses on the research and development of immersive digital interactivity for applications within cinematic, mobile and home theatre contexts. ...The Centre has four principal research domains:

Interactive Narrative Systems

Immersive Visualization Systems

Distributed Interface Systems

Theories of Interactive Narrative Systems"

Contact - Augmented Acoustics

Felix Faire (UK), a Parametric System Designer had designed some very interesting interactive installations. One of these, Contact is an interface with which to manipulate and visualize sounds. Beautiful results. View Contact: Augmented Acoustics CONTACT: Augmented Acoustics from Felix Faire on Vimeo . "CONTACT is a tangible audio interface to manipulate and visualize sounds generated from interaction with a simple wooden surface. Any physical contact with the table generates acoustic vibrations which are manipulated and visualized LIVE as they occur using several communicating pieces of software. All code will be opensource and available on github.

International Call for Works - VISUAL MUSIC FESTIVAL

I am very happy to announce the call for works for visual music films for a visual music festival devoted to contemporary practice to be held at the University of Kentucky, US. Why I am very proud is one of my former students is involved in organising this, well done Kristine SCFA Visual Music Festival 2025 @ The University of Kentucky Call for visual music films, Deadline is 15th December 2024 General Rules: • The films must be made entirely with abstract imagery, avoiding representation. That is: no cars, no people, no landscapes, no texts, etc. • You can use any technique you’d like: drawing, video composition, cgi, scratch, op-art, stop-motion, camera-less… • The soundtrack cannot feature any words, in any language. If you’re using a song, this must be instrumental or feature non-narrative voices, (no lyrics). • Maximum running time is 8 minutes. • Open and/or closing credits are welcome. • Films must have been produced after 2017. • We kindly request authors to enter their fi...

D.D. Jameson - Colour Music (1844)

D.D. Jameson devised a systematic approach to create a colour music score for a specially adapted piano. His scores took the information from a piano music score and applied it to a sound-music colour scheme and translated it into a colour score. The colour score communicated the musical information - such as notes, rhythm, durations. His score was to link to a special adaptation of a piano music instrument that would have the keys prepared with the relevant colours. The musician could then play the piano by following the colour music score. Not only were the piano keys to be coloured according to his colour to tone analogy system but the score was to also communicate other aspects of the musicianship such as: the intervals of the music, the notes and their octaves, by mapping the height of the colour to the octave of the note and the width of the colour to the duration of the note. "A pianoforte having been prepared in the manner described, any air may be slo...
