Myron Krueger was an early pioneer in virtual and augmented reality who introduced the concept of responsive environments. He created several interactive art installations in the 1970s and 1980s that responded to users' actions through video and audio. One such work was called Videoplace, which used video cameras to connect people in separate locations within a shared virtual space, allowing them to interact visually. The document describes a student project called Light Aquarium, which was inspired by Krueger's work and aimed to create a conceptual environment using cameras where slides could interact unexpectedly through light and reflection.
