This is a kinect based setup that will display a different image based on the location of the user in a given space. Images can vary from pictures to video to web camera based images

Background
Cherry blossoms is an interesting concept of the fleeting moment of great beauty. It's full potential is but a fleeting moment and the walk through the space symbolizes that.

I spent a few days at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens just as the cherry blossoms reached full bloom. These only lasted for three weeks and I was fortunate enough to experience them before the rain came.



Eventually I would design this with IP cameras focused on different places around the world to enable a "window" to the world that can reside anywhere.

Audience
Anyone who wants to experience or enjoys the feeling of cherry blossom viewing.

User Scenario
Using the Center of Mass code, based on a user's location within the area of the kinect, the images on the screen will change as you walk further away or nearer to it. At the same time it will play Japanese festival music.

Implementation
Using the Xbox Kinect mounted above the floor, this will track the user using the SimpleOpenNI library for Processing. A screen on the wall will act as a window type where moving from one spot to the other will change the image displayed.

Conclusion
Projecting on mist is very difficult. A lot of mist or fog is required to project images on to it. I may pursue this off the floor using an actual fog machine.
