Three Drops at the Exploratorium!
The installation I worked on over the summer at Sona Research has opened in the Seeing Gallery at the Exploratorium in San Francisco. No photos/videos as of yet, but there should be some soon. The piece allows visitors to interact with an artistic video simulation of water at three different scales. You use your shadow to influence the projected water with forces appropriate to each physical scale. In the first scene water flows down from a shower head and pools around your feet. In the second scene you can interact with a single water drop. In the third scene you can interact with a flowing clusters of water molecules. The molecular simulation is inspired by recent research at Stanford that suggests that water molecules may briefly arrange themselves in rings or chains (also see the further scientific debate).
