Videoplace

From Myron Krueger’s essay on responsive environments, the one passage that struck me was the section focusing on VIDEOPLACE. While we are in the age of video conferencing and cameras on street corners, something about the VIDEOPLACE idea seems so futuristic and exciting. It would be cool to experience something where, not only are you seeing the image of a friend in a different location, but you would see yourself there, in the same scene, with that person! I can only imagine that, with time, one may actually fall for the mental illusion and feel as if they were actually spending time with that person. The idea of VIDEOPLACE makes me think of Project Natal for Xbox 360 where a camera captures movements of the human body and uses those movements to control the videogame. It seems to be in the same vain as VIDEOPLACE where the human image is incorporated, on the fly, to a given medium.
