Can your architectural design change an otherwise basic experience?

This project called GreenRay and designed by 3kta actually makes walking a whole new experience. Their green laser light show literally interacts with the people as they walk around the main party event.

As you will see in the video, GreenRay plays with the night’s darkness in that it uses green laser lights to cut across the floor as people walk. Not only does it make for an interesting real-time experience for the party-goers, but it also makes for a beautiful display if you are looking down from overhead.

Take note of this project as an example of a design that stimulates the senses in a whole new way. The best designs sometimes challenge visitors to experience the world differently from how they usually travel within it.

Walking, often taken for granted, is actually challenged and made fun. If I use my imagination — the color green evokes grass; however, the lasers in this project are actually lifted to about ankle height, thus making it feel as though they are walking in a dry sort of water.

Watch how strategically placed green lasers can really make a space interesting:
