Interactive Floor

Me, Kyle and Sara got the installation working on Sunday night. We mounted the Kinect and projector up on the side near the computers. It was pretty simple to get everything up onto the beams on the ceiling, and once we figured out how the projection mapping and getting the Kinect to detect only within a certain distance. We played around with the focusing of the projector and we thought we had it optimized when we messed around with it a while ago. 

I tried it out on a chair in the IM lab just to test out the projection mapping before moving it upstairs to 153. 

I added a different graphic to mine by porting over an example from the generative design book, with the sizes of the circles changing depending on the position of the person walking on the projected area.
