The visuals in a zone were affected by the movements of the
player, the beat of the music and the section of the music that
is being selected by the EJ (the experience jockey). Each of
the six graphics input zones were made of the following ingredients:
One person from the crowd was in each zone in front of some
input devices that they could control.
|
A set of input devices through which the player controls graphics
and sound. (A "Tweak" zone had four light beams the
person could break, plus a sensor at the player's hips to measure
their wiggle.)

Houdini animation software on a Silicon Graphics Octane workstation
generates the realtime 3D graphics.

A large rear-projection screen displays the graphics from
Houdini.

PiOS controls the music which is generated by synthesizers,
samplers and modified through effects boxes.
|
Local speakers play sound effects and musical samples that
the player is controlling.
