The spectral refers to the ability of electric technologies, through slippages in the process of reproduction, to leave traces, evoke the strange or odd, to awe or unsettle, using the (often female) body as the locus of those effects.

poem by NariTraditional computer interfaces have very limited input capabilities, typically restricted to keyboard typing and mouse manipulations (pointing, selecting, dragging, etc.). The area of vision-based interaction seeks to provide a wider and more expressive range of input capabilities by using computer vision techniques to process sensor data from one or more cameras in real-time, in order to reliably estimate relevant visual information about the user – i.e., to use vision as a passive, non-intrusive, non-contact input modality for human-computer interaction.
