images The 21st Century Virtual Reality Color Organ A collaborative project with David Britton and Jack Ox as the principles and a growing list of generous contributors from both industry and high performance computing universities. Dave Britton is responsible for the graphics programming and the meta-architecture of the programming structure. Jack Ox has contributed the concept, visual images, musical analysis, visualization systems and texture maps. The Color Organ is a computional system for translating musical compositions into visual performance. An instrument, like a musical instrument, it uses supercomputing power to produce 3D visual images and sound from MIDI files, and can play a variety of compositions. Performances take place in interactive, immersive, virtual reality environments such as the CAVE, VisionDome, or Immersadesk. Because it is a 3D immersive world the Color Organ is also a place; a performance space. instrument families used as virtual landscape texture maps (1-7) in-situ landscapes, composites of 1-7 (8, 9) two high-quality stills (10, 11) other still shots (12-15) technical details
