The shadow mirror project is an interactive art installation which mimics user motions and displays them in the form of a a puppet's shadow. In order to accomplish the shadow effect, a motion capture solution is needed alongside a puppet with a controllable motion system and lighting effects. This piece is open to a wide range of audiences both age-wide and culture-wide, allowing us to achieve our goal of bringing forth a universal bond and introducing a new way of interaction through the blending of technology and art.
