  1. Zachary Short Shadow Replacement

  2. Original Ideas • I knew that I wanted to create user interaction • I wanted to do so with little to no work by the user • I also wanted a relatively subliminal output, something you don’t necessarily notice

  3. Double- Taker (Snout) http://www.flong.com/projects/snout/

  5. Shadow Replacement • Shadows are something that surround us on a momentary basis • Something that we take for granted • So what happens if this shadow disappears? Better yet, what happens if it gets replaced? • Will people notice?

  6. Problems • Numenta People tracking • Originally I began to develop something just using a normal camera • Problem was that what I did worked a lot better with stereo cameras

  7. With out the stereo camera the program had several inclusions resulting in a shaky output • Stereo cameras are very expensive, so I had to think about what I had to work with

  8. Ended up beginning to work with Kinect • Kinect can track multiple people simultaneously with out the use of the freeze pose • Can also monitor depth and several other aspects that will be beneficial

  9. Basically… • The program places a box around the individual • Take the lower coordinates of the box and import those numbers into Max • Implement a shadow and control the way the shadow moves based on the speed of the individual • A stopped person results in a stopped shadow

  10. Programs • Nag mark 15 • Xml4c • OpenNL • Nite • Processing • Max/Msp
