Moths

Moths
This is a fairy tale about the night forest and moths, its luminous inhabitants. The magic begins when a viewer appears and suddenly loses his or her habitual appearance. A luminous light bulb replaces the viewer’s head, and their silhouette is filled with moths. The more people there are in the forest, the brighter the magical forest life becomes.
Instructions:
Move along the screen at a distance of 3 meters or more and control the silhouettes on the screen.
Multiple participants can interact with the program simultaneously.
Technical description:
Using a depth camera, such as Kinect, the program processes the silhouette of a person and builds an image based on it. A swarm of moths fill the silhouette of the viewer on the screen. The program determines the number of people in front of the screen and the head coordinates so that light bulbs appears in their places. When there are no people in front of the screen, the moths gather in the prescribed form.
