# Obscura Floor
> Interactive installations are built from cameras, projectors, sensors, software, light, cables and the people who keep them working.

## Entries
- [Floor Report: Building a Camera-Reactive Projection in a Daylit Hallway](https://obscura-floor.pages.dev/camera-reactive-hallway-projection/): A reliable camera-reactive hallway projection begins with a controlled sensing zone, a projection surface that tolerates changing daylight and a rendering.
- [Pose Tracking in Crowds: Understanding Occlusion and Designing Around It](https://obscura-floor.pages.dev/pose-tracking-crowd-occlusion/): Pose tracking becomes unreliable in crowds because bodies overlap, limbs disappear from view and multiple people can become difficult to distinguish across.
- [Latency Budgets for Interactive Walls: Tracing the Delay from Camera to Projector](https://obscura-floor.pages.dev/interactive-wall-latency-budgets/): Interactive wall latency is the combined delay between sensing, data transfer, tracking, rendering, display synchronization and visible projection.
- [Failsafe Cards: How to Design Reliable Fallback Loops for Interactive Installations](https://obscura-floor.pages.dev/failsafe-cards-fallback-loops/): A failsafe card defines what an interactive installation does when its camera, tracking system, network, renderer or display stops working.
- [Cleaning Schedules and Cable Strain: A Maintenance Plan for a Six-Week Gallery Run](https://obscura-floor.pages.dev/gallery-maintenance-cleaning-cable-strain/): A six-week interactive exhibition needs a maintenance schedule that accounts for visitor contact, dust, optical surfaces, cable movement and daily.
- [Two Stages of a Conversation With a Fictional Machine: Gallery Installations and Consumer Character Platforms](https://obscura-floor.pages.dev/gallery-installations-consumer-character-platforms/): A gallery installation and a consumer character platform can both present a fictional machine as a conversational presence, but they operate under different.
