Impulse becomes a continuous motion via translation between virtual and real life.
One kind of information becomes another form of information, both of which are connected and dependent upon one another to function. The surface of the conveyor belt is a series of geometric textures of various heights. As the viewer turns the handle clockwise, the continuous motion activates three rows of three switches to momentary on and off states. The activation of the switches is indicated by a pattern of corresponding l.e.d lights. The moving forms and sound compositions in VR are a result of the participants' actions in the real world.
