ABSTRACT
The Harp of Light is a creative installation that uses string projection mapping to simulate an aesthetic visual corresponding to beautiful sound of a harp. The installation mimics a harp with strings that receives projection mapping of digital visuals that is aligned to the live interaction from audiences through natural based interactive means. The main contribution of this artwork is an attempt to provoke an emotional experience through a highly realistic simulation of an acoustic harp sound and a hepta-symmetrical visual generated from natural interaction from the audiences creatively projected on strings. The set-up of this creative installation creates a fresh and colorful ambience that gives the audiences a digital look-and-feel of musical tone through the projected chords. A novel combination of various creative technologies has been used to create The Harp of Light.
