CCA Graduate Program in Design faculty member Rachel Strickland's Walk-in Theater for iPad has arrived and the free app is available to download at the App Store.

This initial release features the first of six location studies in her seven-year work-in-progress 6x6 Emptiness Can Hold Things arrayed in a 3D simulation with spatialized audio. Other contributors: Jim McKee (sound design) and Eric Gould Bear (interactivity).

This virtual model of 6x6 Emptiness Can Hold Things is a step along the way to realization of the full-scale installation that the project envisions, hopefully lending persuasion to the proposition of a physical instantiation that a visitor might experience by walking rather than driving (as the app requires).

As a portable presentation strategy, it offers a more vivid preview. As a rapid prototyping tool, it allows for configuring video planes and sound sources to fit different exhibit spaces.
