This CAVE-based interactive and
immersive installation explores the potential of the world-wide web as
interactive and immersice data and information medium. Today information
on the Internet is presented in a standard fashion, as defined by the currently
available image browsers. In "The Living Web" users can immerse themselves
physically and in 3D into this image and sound information streamed
"live" from the Internet. Microphones pick up the users' conversations
and use them to generate and download corresponding image and sound file
from the Web. Users can furthermore interact with these data through intuitive
interfaces and explore their content in more detail. "The Living Web" presents
a novel system for intuitive, immersive and entertaining information creation
and retrieval.
