The Large Scale Surface Sensor (LSSS) is an imaging device to be used in interactive installation of various size. It's modular nature allows for very large scale interactive space creation.

The Surface is made out of a layout of tiles embedded in the floor of walls of a room. The tiles do not need to be visible. They can be laid under any material that has with low electric conductivity such as wood, concrete, plaster or rubber. The tiles can be cut to fit installation constraint.

A LSSS system is composed of an arbitrary number of tiles composing a patchwork that scans the surface at a high frequency and generatse an image of objects andhuman bodies that are in a close range of the surface.  the position and the shape are given, so a foot will give a smaller trace than a complete leg. 

The proximity detection makes it possible to know when object is near or in contact with the surface.  Such a system should be considered as an input device, something like a sophisticated multi-point touchpad.  It can be hooked to a computer that will generate video to be reprojected over the surface.  It could also drive other medium, like sound or light. 

LSSS has been used to create one of the world largest multi-touch interactive screen, the 1000 square feet interactive stage of Cirque du Soleil KÀ in Las Vegas. It has also been used in multiple museum and art installation.

We can do custom design to suit your needs, ranging from very large interactive walls to ultra wide interactive floors and stage. Contact us for more information.
