It\u2019s anticipated that your system will responds to signals from a human user\/visitor\/player\/interactant. For example, you might make a tool, an instrument, a game, a toy, or some other kind of responsive experiential system. For this assignment, your system will probably respond to a camera of some kind.<br \/>\nDeveloping an interactive system will ask you to think about augmenting human experience through an exploration of interactive feedback in the context of a user\u2019s high-bandwidth, continuous and real-time signals \u2014 whether intentional or inadvertent; gestural or spoken; or based on any other measurable property or behavior. You might develop, e.g. a gesture processor, a drawing program, a transformative mirror, an audiovisual instrument, or some other system which allows a participant to experience themselves and the world in a new way.<\/p>\n<p>In the past two months, the space of interactive experiences has been blown wide open by the introduction of the Microsoft Kinect depth camera. Open-source toolkits for most arts-engineering environments (openFrameworks, Processing, Max\/MSP, OSC) are now freely available. We have been fortunate to secure 12 Kinect cameras through a small grant from the CMU Computational Thinking Center. I will loan these dozen cameras to 2-person teams that don\u2019t already own their own device. Although using the Kinect is not a requirement for the assignment, this is a great opportunity to work in a wide-open space.<\/p>\n<p><em>Please give some consideration to the potential of your software to operate as a cultural artifact.
