With respect to digital art creation, following the growing popularity of sensors and electronic components, an increasing number of works are produced using technological products. Although sensors are now commonly used for creating art, a large number of creations only make use of one or a few sensors in creation. As such, there is a limited number of works that connect multiple sensors, integrate them and apply them in creation. This creation uses a man-made pool environment as the main design for an art installation. It utilizes communication links between multiple wired/wireless sensors and the system, combines visual and audio interactive elements as the main input source and extracts image facial features of the audience as expressions for virtual characters. Through operating specific interaction mechanisms, the system activates various peripheral devices such as motors, vaporizers and lighting and the complete product is presented through displayed on the special effects screen. Consequently, a creative, interactive, entertaining and technological interaction art installation is created via the integration of domains including art, multimedia, interaction and design.
