This can be seen in all aspects of the festival; the sound quality, DJ’s, MC’s, stages, visual effects: lights, screens & fireworks, it is all top notch. The different areas are created based on different styles of music within the electronic genre: techno, electro, trance, house & main stage. They all have a unique feel but the basic equipment for good sound and visuals is there. The bigger the area the more extravagant the stage and equipment of course.

In this video the same behaviour of the crowd is noticeable: when a climax is built up by the DJ or a well- known record is put on the crowd react by screaming and dancing supported by heightened levels of visuals. After the climax has occurs people can go crazy, thrown their hands up, increase dancing energy, jump & scream. Figure 2: Main stage of Tomorrowland 2010.

All of these inspirational sources have reinforced the direction of creating a dynamic display. These inspirational sources have created enthusiasm for the more arty side of industrial design. Some projects can become very technology orient- ed, even though a kinetic sculpture and a wooden mirror depend on technology they also have a very strong link to art. This is something that Has not been encountered in previous projects and therefore has created enthusiasm and curiosity.

Kinect to a wall to be able to film people from above. Due to the fact that the Processing code allows for full rotation of the filmed objects is would be better to set the Kinect up above the crowd. Even though it films from the ceiling the code creates a depth map that can be rotated so that the picture is displayed form the side (figure 11).

The limited angle and range popped up in both tests. This is, as said before, a downside of this system but by adding multiple Kinects to a room this would be solved; still cheaper and more effective than traditional IR-camera’s.

This hanging from the ceiling proved to be perfect for the concept as it is able to tract the dynamic display as well as the crowd below it and display height and activity differences in a crowd. As mentioned before a downside of the Kinect is its reach, to get the full effect multiple Kinects are needed to “read” the full crowd.
