Starting with a Kinect camera, TouchDesigner, a projector, and a few more webcameras, Laura Murphy and I set up a system that utilized projection mapping's most apparent flaw. Shadows cast by the projector are an important factor, rather than a hindrance, with our setup.We then gave the system to the Texas A&M dance department, where they created costumes and choreographed a dance that took full advantage of the technology. The video explains the whole process.

This project utilized a kinect camera's joint data to track joint angles and hand motions. Based on the user's movements, colored fireflies would spawn and the user's hands could influence them significantly.We gave our program to the dance department at A&M to test and critique. They decided to use our system for a small performance to show the art in action. Interactive pieces like these have a lot of potential. It was a lot of fun to essentially toss light around using your body movement.
