Gauntlet

"Gauntlet" is an augmented reality installation based on an amalgamation of virtual and physical interaction mechanisms. Through the use of a wearable sensor and vibro-tactile feedback enabled glove coupled with depth sensor tracking technology, users can interact with virtual environments in a natural manner.

By blending together different aspects of the reality-virtuality continuum in a single integrated system, the user is encouraged to peruse and explore their own conceptions of what is real and what is virtual, and also contemplate the implications of the mass assimilation of virtual data into contemporary society.
