Our project is a computer vision based project, use Kinect sensor to detect the distance between two people and use this data as input to create interactivity between human and computer. Our initial concept is to build a computer system that can create human social activity in the subconscious. The users won’t know it, but when they finish use our system they will have a social activity with the other person, then achieving a goal that teaching people the classical social behavior.

In this project my major job is the technical part, I tried lots of way to make this project, including Processing, Arduino, Kinect and MAX/map, Our concept is to solve the problem that new technology changed human’s physical behavior, we want to create a system to change these positive behavior back. When we setup the installation at the “ATRIUM” museum we catch many people’s curiosity, they come in front the wall and try to use their movement to interact with our installation and we changed their normal behavior, because when we did the research we found that in the museum area people normally just go through it directly, don’t talk to other people, don’t walk around the area and don’t stop to enjoy the space. But with our installation on the wall, people will change the chronic path and play with our installation then try to call their friends or just an other stranger to play it with him, after they reach the final target they will say thank you to each other, smell to each other and maybe ask more detail to each other. We create a possibly to let people to have the classical social activities, it’s a recall of human instinct.
