Overview
The technology for COLLIDE comprises a glove controller and its accompanying
interfaces (see The Glove Project),
along with three Macintosh computers: one for audio (running MAX/MSP),
one for video (running Onadime), and another for mapping messages between
the first two computers. Overall, the system schematic for COLLIDE looks
something like this:
In addition to the glove controller, you can see by the above schematic
that I also use an infrared device, which I control with my left hand.
(The current glove system includes only one data glove, worn on the right
hand; my new REV2 system will use two gloves.) The infrared controller
is the “Dimension Beam” formerly made by Interactive Light:
And here is a snapshot of the whole system in action (still image taken
from DVD filming session for COLLIDE):
