In Brigitta Zics’ Mirror_SPACE installation the users’ face is scanned in real time by infrared sensor device, and calculate mood values. This data is transformed into a virtual mirror image presented on screen. Zics also argues that “Mirror_SPACE is a system of reflections of a type which involves not only optical appearances but also forces which act on us andwhich we cannot control affecting our phenomenal image” (Zics 2005)
I find it interesting how the user is confronted with a real-time virtual interpretation of himself/herself. And also that the virtual object avatar is semi-autonomous of the user, meaning it will partly be controlled by the users movements as well as the proximity to other virtual objects.
