Cosmic Jungle is a Cinematic Interactive Installation that combines audience participation in conjunction with both classic and novel film techniques, creating a reallife moving Filmset. Visitors play the main role in this installation, and find themselves inside a filmset surrounded by cameras and lights, projected into a world that consists of otherworldly creatures, Unidentief Flying Objects and other surreal events. By using motion control techniques, visitors are controlling the events that unfold around them by moving in front of the camera.[7] [8]
