4Dmix³ is an immersive multi-user remixing installation, that uses a ceiling-mounted camera to track many participants moving within a gallery space. The users can see their avatar representations in a mirror-like display, allowing them to localize themselves within a field of virtual sound sources. In fact, a plethora of musical loops are scattered throughout the environment, each of which are phase-locked to match the rhythms of the others.

In the end, the user experiences immersion in a virtual world, where movements guide virtual microphones through a forest of audiovisual sculptures. The sculptures emit sound that feed the users’ mix as he or she travels through through the musical landscape.
