The
CompuObscura device is designed to visually present
the ideas of the modern electronic arcade.
As I stated earlier, when
we pass through the electronic arcade, we often leave
impressions of ourselves behind, ghostly personas
that become part of the arcade itself even long after
we are gone.
To represent this idea in the
CompuObscura, we introduce ghostly screens into the
environment on which are displayed images gathered at
random from various sites around the world.
Some of these images are captured from television, movies
or web broadcasts, but some are also images captured
in distant locations by other CompuObscura devices.
Participants in the CompuObscura can then interact with
these ghosts, and can also interact with the personas
of other participants who appear as puppet-like figures
in the environment.
