The Lumiere Ghosting Project is also designed to serve as a curriculum framework inside of which students and faculty can explore the theoretical and historical ramifications of this wide-spread social change and interaction.

To help accomplish these goals, the Lumiere Ghosting Project makes use of the CompuObscura both as a device for creation, for technological development, and for study.

Students and faculty connected with the Lumiere Ghosting Project help design, develop and refine different aspects of the CompuObscura, but at the same time they are all encouraged to explore (and add to) the histories that support the object’s design, and to study and learn from the way viewers interact with the device.
