One interesting project from outside of class.
Remembering back to the Design and The Elastic Mind exhibit of last spring, the Shadow Monsters exhibit came to mind. The program recognizes the user's shadow gestures and elaborates on them with animation and sound.

One way this project could be improved on is perhaps with the addition of more colors as well as more themes than just monsters.... Perhaps there is a way to utilize the project in a way that could be used for more than just entertainment: Perhaps a similar system could be used to recognize the user's input of a simple line and react in a measurement of potential angles or additions that would be structurally reliable?
