...Nobumichi Asai, creative director of a Japanese visual studio called WOW, is a new media artist who is known for experimenting with face-mapping and video projections. A couple of years ago, he created Omote and projected virtual makeup onto a model's face. As the video gained momentum on the internet, he was brought in to repeat the task for Lady Gaga's David Bowie tribute. What made the performance unique was that instead of using the projection system in a controlled studio environment, Gaga's face was mapped and transformed live in front of a massive audience for the first time last year.

To create Inori (which literally translates to "prayer" in Japanese), Asai's studio worked with TOKYO, an award-winning production company in Japan.

T(ether)

T(ether) is a novel spatially aware display that supports intuitive interaction with volumetric data. The display acts as a window affording users a perspective view of three- dimensional data through tracking of head position and orientation. T(ether) creates a 1:1 mapping between real and virtual coordinate space allowing immersive exploration of the joint domain. Our system creates a shared workspace in which co-located or remote users can collaborate in both the real and virtual worlds. The system allows input through capacitive touch on the display and a motion-tracked glove. When placed behind the display, the user’s hand extends into the virtual world, enabling the user to interact with objects directly.
