Description

I have always been captivated by the conversion of motion and power that takes place within a machine and the way all the autonomous mechanisms form a whole and work together. By using a Kinect, a webcam, and a series of motors, I would like to give “life” to a puppet, and study the interaction of the audience/user with this object.
