Ombrae Optical Tiles


Quin Media Arts And Sciences designs and sells sculptural images using the Ombrae System, an optical tile technology. Conceived by founder Rod Quin, Ombrae translates digitized images or other input into an array of light-reflecting three-dimensional tiles.

An Ombrae image is highly responsive to changes in environmental light and changes in the audience's viewing angle. It stimulates viewer interaction as it appears to shift, while preserving the source image. It can be made from a variety of materials with different surface and structural characteristics. The Ombrae system is effective at virtually any scale, so it is equally useful on buildings and consumer products. [via the QMAAS website; suggested by Andrew Thomson, Vancouver.]
