Projecting onto a Glass Prism
A small experiment was conducted to investigate what happens when an interactive visual (Webcam Movement Visualization in TD) is projected through a glass prism. The main prism ball had a diameter of 4.5 centimeters which is a bit small for the projector. We also tested working wit a triangular prism which is interesting as well but does not cause a nicer effect.
This could later be used for Installation for Exhibition

Conclusion
- Even the slightest movements can cause instability
- The prism needs to stay stiff. Movement should only be intentional
- The bigger the prism the more you can still see the original projected image
- More prisms = more complex effects
- Even if you don't see the original visual you will still recognize that the visual is interactive. (In our case reacting to our body movement)
