Similar Interactive Installations

The following video shows an interactive installation that in some ways is similar to the one I found in New York just on a much bigger scale the maker of this project has managed to to turn the Auckland Ferry Building into a huge interactive projection. The makers said that they aimed to "create an installation that would go beyond merely projection on buildings and allow viewers to become performers, by taking their body movements and amplifying them 5 stories tall." The idea of tracking peoples movement is growing on me and I feel that it is something I might actually end up working with.

Audience - rAndom International from Chris O'Shea on Vimeo.

This, slightly random, installation is by ex idat student Chris O'Shea, The project consists of a bunch of small mirrors each of the mirrors moves its as if looking like a human to show different emotional states. The mirrors interact with one and other until interrupted by person walking into the middle of the group. When someone walks into the middle all the mirrors turn towards the person in sync, so the person can see their reflection all around them. After a while they will return to talking amongst one and other until interrupted again.
This installation shows an unusual way the audience can interact with a project, the project seems pretty simple, just using motion sensors to detect when someone enters the perimeter, and instead of having a somewhat intelligent system like this, i could just use pre set "emotions" which the objects switch between.
