Cybrid Landscape explores how the physical properties of a space can be mapped into a virtual space, or a cybrid in this case. A 3D virtual landscape represents the atria of a physical building. As people walk around the space, they wear away the landscape in virtual space, showing a history of movement throughout the day. This can be used to study movement in a building, but also be presented to the visitors to make them aware of the intelligent building and see if they would alter their path once they knew the destructive effect they were having on the virtual landscape. Cybrid Landscape uses the data published by the Arch-OS vision system.
Read ‘Arch-OS: An operating system for buildings’ (PDF), Peter Anders & Michael Phillips, ACADIA Conference 2004, which features Cybrid Landscape.
Cybrid Landscape was a winner in the Web3dArt 2005 competition.
