Tactile Vision

Tactile Vision, by Tomohiko Saito, enables the viewer to see him/herself from several points of view.

The 6 CCD cameras that are in front of, behind, to the left and right, and above and below the viewer, continuously film the viewer as he/she interacts with the work. Each image filmed by the 6 cameras corresponds to one of the surfaces of the cube.

When you put the cube in a predetermined place, you can see yourself on the top surface of the cube. Rotate the cube, and you can see yourself from 6 different angles.

The image that appears on the top surface of the cube is filmed by a predetermined camera, but even if the same surface is on top, the image that appears is not necessarily the same. The image is rotated along with the direction of a surface.
In other words, the 6 images filmed by the CCD cameras are mapped onto the real cube.
