Hi-five is a highly positive expression between people who want to celebrate something that they could share.


What if we can induce people who haven’t met or not familiar to do hi-five? Hi-five camera will randomly pick two people and will be asked to do hi-five by sending text message. Two players who got a text message need to find each other and go to a place where the project installed to take a picture together in a limited time. When they find each other and hi-five in front of the project, an installed microphone will detect sound pattern of hi-five and will capture a couple of images to generate a gif image of them. Depending on the level of sound generated by hi-five and the elapsed time after text message sent, they will get a score of their hi-five as well as funny gif image.


Hi-five camera initially designed to ITP. ITP is a big group. We have almost 200 people around the floor, yet sometime we don’t have enough chance to know each other unless we take a same class. By deploying this project on the floor, we want to provide an opportunity to students to explore a new relationship among peers by sharing moment of doing hi-five together and share fun images. For the show purpose, this project will be extended to people who will come to ITP winter shows. Audiences will be asked to take a picture at the lobby and fill their name and phone number if they want participate in this game.
