About the experience

Bio Matrix is an interactive projection environment that transforms bodily movement into evolving organic imagery. As guests enter the projected field, the system responds to their position and gestures, creating the feeling of stepping into a living visual ecology.

The experience is open and self-paced. A single guest can investigate subtle cause and effect, while several guests can discover how their movements combine to alter the shared field.

Developer / artist and final technical specifications: [Confirm from source material].

• Enter Slowly:Invite guests to begin with small movements and notice how the environment responds before becoming more expressive.
• Embodied Curiosity:Frame the installation as a conversation between body and image rather than a game with a correct objective.
• Solo Before Collective:When possible, let guests first recognize their own influence, then observe how multiple bodies co-create the field.
• Shared Ecology:Encourage awareness of other participants and the way individual gestures become part of a larger visual system.
• Protect the Illusion:Keep projectors, sensors, cables, and technical operators outside the main field of attention wherever possible.
• Reflective Exit:Invite guests to pause at the edge and notice how the field changes when their body is no longer inside it.

Setup & installation requirements

• Projection: confirm projector position, focus, brightness, output resolution, mapping alignment, and required throw distance.
• Interaction field: mark the active movement zone and maintain clear entry and exit routes.
• Sensors/camera: confirm placement, field of view, permissions, tracking range, and response across the full interaction area.
• Computer: launch the approved software/project file and disable sleep, notifications, and automatic updates.
• Lighting: reduce competing ambient light while preserving safe visibility around the floor and exits.
• Safety: cover and secure cables; protect projector stands, sensors, ventilation, and power distribution with no-go zones.
• Recording/privacy: [Confirm whether the camera processes locally and whether any images or movement data are stored].
• Technical owner / launch path: [Confirm from source material].

How to facilitate

1. Check that the interaction field and exits are clear and that the visuals respond across the intended area.
2. Invite the guest with: “Step into the field and notice how the living visuals respond to you.”
3. Let the guest begin with subtle movement. Avoid over-explaining or demonstrating every possibility.
4. When more guests join, encourage them to notice how their individual movements combine within the shared visual ecology.
5. Monitor capacity, energetic movement, children, bags, drinks, trip hazards, and attempts to touch technical equipment.
6. During busy periods, invite guests to complete their exploration and make space for the next group.
7. Ask: “How did the field change when you moved alone compared with moving together?”

Troubleshooting

• Projection misaligned → check projector position, output resolution, mapping calibration, and projection surface.
• No movement response → check camera/sensor power, field of view, permissions, room lighting, tracking process, and software connection.
• Response is delayed or unstable → reduce background movement, inspect system load and network dependence, and restart the approved tracking process.
• No image → verify power, input source, cable, computer display output, and projector mute/blank state.
• Guests cast unwanted shadows → adjust flow boundaries or confirm the intended projector and sensor positions.
• Unsafe crowding or equipment obstruction → pause entry, clear the field, and restore the marked capacity.
• Unresolved issue → close the installation temporarily and escalate to the technical owner.
