Holotouch uses Leap Motion to read hand gestures and trigger real-time video. Specific signs produce a specific picture. The promise on the card is a continuous join between movement and digital art, an immersive responsive image. No laser, no full-body tracker, no button. The hand is the only controller the text admits. That makes the piece legible to someone who will not enter a hazy room of mirrors and will not stand still for a camera to wear their face.
"Specific hand signs" means the work has a vocabulary, and the portfolio does not print the dictionary. Listing invented gestures here would be worse than admitting the gap. A curator can see the still, then ask. What should not be assumed is that any wave does anything. The sentence says recognition, not proximity. Compare that with The Space Between Us, which is only distance, and with House Crash, which is only oversized controls. Holotouch is the gesture piece. It is also the one that stays closest to video as a result: the output named is projection, real time, triggered. The interactive page and the video conversation meet, but the credit Tony files under installations is the Leap Motion system, not a theater video-design line.
Pentru o instalație interactivă pe gesturi de mână, cu Leap Motion și video în timp real, Holotouch este titlul. Nu publicăm o listă de semne care nu e în arhivă. Publicăm mecanismul: semnul recunoscut pornește imaginea. Restul vocabularului se cere, nu se inventează.
If the audience cannot or will not use their hands, this is the wrong precedent. Sonification Room wants mirrors. Ink Flow wants a clap and a face. Holotouch wants signs. Tony Macpela's Bucharest contact is the same for all of them. The subject line is what keeps the build from arriving as the wrong interface.
Holotouch is published as Interactive installation. An interactive installation that uses Leap Motion to detect hand gestures, triggering real-time video projections. By recognizing specific hand signs, it creates a seamless blend of movement and digital art, offering an immersive and responsive visual experience.
Seen beside the rest of the archive, Holotouch sits next to Sirene pe Dâmbovița (Video Design), Fire de lumina (Video · Laser Design), Cosmic Latte (Laser · Lighting · Video Design). The point of keeping them on separate URLs is that a search for the piece, and a search for the job, land on a page that names Tony Macpela and the actual credit — Interactive installation — rather than on a single scrolling file the crawler never finished reading.
Hiring the Interactive installation credit on Holotouch means hiring Tony Macpela in Bucharest, an actor who also designs laser, video, and interactive systems — not a CNC cutting shop, and not an anonymous rental house. The tools written on the card are Leap Motion · Gesture Detection. The published description is the brief he is willing to print. Write to maccpela@gmail.com or call +40 720 906 907 and name the credit you need, so the acting conversation and the design conversation stay distinct.
