Spiderman/DrStrange Portal

2021 · Dubai Mall

Interactive Kinect Portal

This installation was created for the Dubai premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home in Dubai Mall, in collaboration with Hybrid Xperience, and was on public display for an extended amount of time (2 weeks I think?).

The Kinect V2 sensor data was managed and processed in TouchDesigner and sent over OSC to Unreal Engine where the interactive visuals were created. The resulting visual was then sent back to TouchDesigner via Spout for outputting to the LED screen.

As players were getting closer to the portal it opened up and revealed a mirror image of them.

It was my first public installation, my first interactive installation, and my first installation I travelled for abroad.

The audience enjoyed interacting with the installation a lot, and I spent a lot of time observing their behavior and how they interact with the piece.
