Moon Theater - Public Physical Interactions

Moon Theater from Nova Jiang on Vimeo.

Nova Jiang's Moon Theater is a really fun and tactile exploration of Interaction Design. It also looks at how people can explore an interface together to create a fun and artistic reaction.

I always enjoy interactions that can be equally enjoyable for both children and adults...chances are if a kid has fun playing, so will a child of the...older variety. This is another reason why I find this field so exciting - it balances sophisticated media with basic communication strategies.

All the Moon Theater really does is activate flash movies according to sensors, which detect the shadow puppeteers behind the screen. Watch the video to see what I mean. Anyhoo...despite the fact that this code seems relatively uncomplicated, the execution is so clever and creates such wonder in the audience that a fantastic interaction comes to life.
