ATLAS in Silico • Project Lead: Ruth West, UCSD NCMIR • Team: Todd Margolis, Iman Mostafavi, JP Lewis, Joachim Gossmann, Ben Hackbarth, Alex Horn, Sam Fernald, Jürgen Schulze, Weizhong Li, Trevor Henthorn, Toshiro Yamada, Rajvikram Singh, Javier I. Girardo, Tommy Chheng, Tom Cassey, Jeffrey Lien • On display at SIGGRAPH 2007 in San Diego • Project description from homepage:"ATLAS in Silico is a new media artwork that reflects upon humanity's long-standing quest for an understanding of the nature, origins, and unity of life. It explores new ways of representing nature in the era of metagenomics."
ATLAS - Data • Sorcerer II Global Ocean Survey (2003-2006) • Sampled microbial biodiversity of the oceans • Data hosted by CAMERA project
ATLAS - Graphics • 50,000 particles • Every particle has spatial signature • Patterns develop automatically • Shape grammar generates unique geometry from particle features
ATLAS – Computer Vision • Marker-less motion tracking for user interaction • 2 cameras: • one behind the user • one above the user • Head tracking from ART
ATLAS - Audio • 10.1 channels • Implemented in Pure Data (pd)
