Abstract

Recent developments in the fields of interactive display technologies provide new possibilities for engaging visitors in interactive three-dimensional virtual art exhibitions. Tracking and interaction technologies such as the Microsoft Kinect and emerging multi-touch interfaces enable inexpensive and low-maintenance interactive art setups while providing portable solutions for engaging presentations and exhibitions. In this paper we describe the smARTbox, which is a responsive touch-enabled stereoscopic out-of-the-box technology for interactive art setups. Based on the described technologies, we sketch an interactive semi-immersive virtual fish tank implementation that enables direct and indirect interaction with visitors.
