Neverland

Keep your childishness.

Motion Sensing installation is a great way to represent ideas. For artworks, it can help people to understand and feel the theme of the work better. For advertising, it can give the user or customer a extremly good impression by establishing a connection with its audiences. Neverland is my first attempt for Motion Sensing installation.

The Idea

“Neverland is an imaginary faraway place, where Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, animals, and other mythical creatures and beings live.” I like fairy tales. When I was doing this project, I tried to make a fantastic and magic area like the Neverland for people to enjoy and to escape from the real world for a while. I created several animal characters and made an animation.

Animaiton

I used kaleidoscope effect to process the animation; it looks like we are looking at this world from a kaleidoscope which is fun and pretty. Also, it has lots of possibilities; just like the world.

The Installation

Because I cannot get a dark room at that time, so I just made a demo for this project. For this project, I used a Kinect, an Arduino board and a projector. When people get close to the installation, the light will turn on and make a light spot on the ground. After people get into the installation, the light will turn up, and the light spot will stop at the top, then the animation will start
