The CompuObscura is an interactive new media art work that allows viewers to interact with images on display inside the device. The images displayed inside the CompuObscura are captured and manipulated, real time, from various siphon points around the world and from other CompuObscura devices scattered across the globe.

Because the CompuObscura is now being used as a research tool and as an interactive art work, there are currently no projected commercial applications for this device. The actual "content" of the CompuObscura will also evolve over time as it is used since it is also designed to "record" the actions of its participants and incorporate those actions into future manifestations of the CompuObscura environment.
