Tentative project title: Think Inside the Box(?)

The music: All Access was denied to us as the exhibition was taken down by the time we arrived. :( On a brighter note...
Our visit to the Telus World of Science resulted in two findings: the use of projector screens/IR and its shadows played on the (a)wall vs. (b)floor.

a) a solar system wall projection with planets spinning at increasing speed dependent to our movements.

b) the floor piece is projected into a mirror and produced a pond filled with goldfish on the floor. Ripples appear as a response to external stimulus such as human interaction. We notice our shadows were of modest size, and therefore alleviate one of our initial worries of intruding black "blobs".

The use of motion tracking is prominent in both examples. With this finding, we begin this weekend by tackling the WiiMote control, as well as decipher codings and search proper material for the Crayon maquette.

p.s. Image post as requested. (Apologies for the overexposure!)

Cheers!
