Using a system of 3D cameras, the Rain Room by Random International makes sure you stay bone dry, even in the midst of what seems like a total downpour. The cameras keep track of where all the bodies in the room are and dynamically adjusts the downpour so that it narrowly avoids you and your pals. It’s like a reverse 3D-water-printer, or the opposite of a little cartoon thundercloud that follows you around and rains on your parade.
The installation is currently on display at the Barbican Art Gallery in London, so if it starts raining near you, don’t expect the same functionality. But if we ever get weather control down to an absolute science, this would be a handy feature. [The Guardian]
That, is frikken AWESOME!
in before some makes a sudden move
Knowing thee sorts of complex instillations, some poor bugger is there having to constantly fix each each time it messes up (which would be constantly). Eventually, usually after about 4 weeks max (sometimes longer, but often shorter), it'll no longer get fixed and will remain forever dead.
I hope they get lots of footage because that's the only way most people will ever see this functioning. :)
I see you like your glass half empty.
...and half full of urine.
I thought you didn't get wet in this room because it's raining men
nice
Trippy
