PhIRE by Bjorn Ottesen


My student Bjorn Ottesen finished completed his MS degree this past week. He has been working on a very compelling physical interaction system called PhIRE ('Physically Immersive Reactive Environment'). Bjorn posted a short video clip of me playing a music application he wrote. It's a lot like Electroplankton, but different due to the physicality—I felt like I could "push" the notes around (with apologies to Morton Feldman).
