The scene is seen through a camera roaming over the landscape, with the environment transitioniong through a set of pre-defined moods. Landscape moods influence the intensity of the storm, the music, the fog colour and the sound effects. The scene may transition from intense, loud and aggressive storms to gentle, quiet snow flurries. When a visitor is detected, the camera moves towards them, choosing from a set of close up camera positions. If no visitors interact with the piece, the camera switches into wide shots of the landscape framing the captured ghosts within.

Ghost is an interactive installation simulating a snow storm consuming an unknown desolate landscape. The visitor’s skeletal movements are recorded using the open source  OpenNI framework and inserted into the simulation as rendered ghosts. Ghost was showcased at Eyebeam in New York City this past spring.
