Responsive Environments
This paper introduces the concept of a responsive environ- ment which perceives human behavior and responds with intelligent auditory and visual feedback. Several exhibits of responsive environments, implemented by the author, com- bining computer graphics, video projection and two-way video communication are described. VIDEOPLACE, an evolving exhibit which defines a conceptual telecommuni- cation environment uniting geographically separated people in a common visual experience, is discussed at some length. Based on these examples a new art form of composed man- machine interaction is defined. Finally, practical applica- tions are suggested for the fields of education, psychology and psychotherapy.
