Description

Shadow Puppetry is one of the intangible cultural heritages that has history of over thousands of years. My project is based on the performance of shadow puppet but put it in a more interact way that audience can control the whole performance themselves, which is different from the traditional counterpart that the controller has to be behind the scene.

I use the Ultrasonic Ranger to detect the distance from audience to the sensor so that the servo motor will move the shadow puppet as well. In this way we can see the performance of the shadow puppet and performance along with it as well. As for the set up, my project will be put in a dark room with only light on the puppet. We are able to see audience's shadow as well. Moreover, there will also be a background music and it can change its volume due to the movement of the audience.
