Light Tracer is an interactive installation which invites the user to write, draw and trace images in real physical space. A series of light sources are given to the user to manipulate, and are subsequently tracked by a camera and displayed onscreen. How the user uses the system is entirely up to them, however it is possible to write messages, draw pictures or trace physical objects such as your face or hand.
Light Tracer has to date been exhibited in over 10 countries and was the recipient of the Tokyo Type Directors Club, Interactive Design Prize in 2007. For more information check visit the Light Tracer site.
