Be Watched
Using xbox kinect and Arduino kit, we were able to track individual’s movement, translate that into data and send it over to Arudino board which then replicate the same motion on simple servo motors.
Utilizing this tracking motion, we come out of two pieces of interactive sculptures, moving along with the person standing in front of them. Together with their form and color they creates a bird-like image, prompting people to play with them.
a short video that shows users' interaction in the context.
