Char Davies Osmose Canada, 1995, (33') Osmose is an immersive interactive virtual-realty environment installation with 3D computer graphics and interactive 3D sound, a head-mounted display and real-time motion tracking based on breathing and balance. Osmose is a space for exploring the perceptual interplay between self and world, i.e. a place for facilitating awareness of one's own self. The public installation of Osmose includes large-scale stereoscopic video and audio projection of imagery and sound transmitted in real-time from the point-of-view of the individual in immersion (the "immersant"): this projection enables an audience, wearing polarizing glasses, to witness each immersive journey as it unfolds. Although immersion takes place in a private area, a translucent screen equal in size to the video screen enables the audience to observe the body gestures of the immersant as a poetic shadow-silhouette. Il video documenta l'installazione Osmose basata su suoni ed immagini 3D. Osmose è uno spazio per esplorare le relazioni fra se stessi e il mondo, ad esempio per facilitare la consapevolezza del proprio essere. L'installazione pubblica prevede anche una proiezione in tempo reale su grande schermo del punto di vista del soggetto che sta sperimentando lo spazio virtuale.
