IMMERSIVE MEDIA
An immersive museum exhibit dedicated to exploring the connection between the time of day and Indian ragas. Discover the association of Indian classical music as it aligns with the natural rhythm of the day, highlighting their emotional and cultural significance through a multi-sensory journey.
In Indian classical music, ragas are linked to specific times of
day and night, known as “prahars.” Derived from the ancient
Indian timekeeping system, prahars divide the day and night into
segments, with each segment associated with certain emotional
moods and characteristics that match the ragas performed
during that time. The traditional system divides the 24-hour day
into eight prahars, each lasting about three hours, reflecting the
natural rhythms and changing qualities of the day and night.

My contribution to the project involved developing and executing the logic using TouchDesigner. I integrated head and hand tracking to create a parallax effect and interactive animations, synchronized sound with hand movements to play the correct raga based on the time of day, and designed a dynamic system to display raga information through hand tracking data.
