latino
features an interactive 3d slide show composed of 4 groups of images about latin america: people at work, industry, children and landscapes.
the interaction happens by means of a touch screen: when an image is touched, it generates both a 3d sine wave and a sound. at the same time, the image becomes more and more transparent, revealing the next one.
