Idea leader’s name: Niamh Shaw
Idea Details: I would love to create an animated sequence projected on to the floor or wall, based on my movement. And if not an actual animated sequence, at least a signal generated from my movement. This would give me the starting point for a new science art piece that I’m trying to make. It would be brilliant to collaborate with people on this.
What you need to make it happen?: Kinect camera, projector, software & hardware geniuses. I have SOME programming experience, but really need the assistance of people who are far more comfortable hacking than I am.

what kind of software abilities are we talking here?
I got a kinect which I’ll bring it along. I’ve done a small amount of work in processing with it, which uses the openNI library. I think it should be possible to send midi signals from that to connect with other theatre software (light etc). There is also the microsoft kinect SDK which I have not used.
