Recently, this reporter had the absolute pleasure of checking out Cosmin and Marie’s ISEA2008 project at the Mixed Reality Lab at NUS. It was a real adventure listening to Cosmin go through the intricate details behind the project, the different cosmic worlds that he hoped to energize and visualize in his project entitled Aurora Consurgens. In this project, the visitor would don a built head piece that had electrodes extended into contact with the skin; the electricity/energy that the brain gave off would then be tapped, and visualized as abstract shapes in a screen nearby.

IDM also had visitors from DSTA who were interested in seeing the projects that were hosted at the Mixed Reality Lab.
