MKA: A INTERACTIVE STOREFRONT

Teaming up with a fellow student (Ilja Shkonda), we created an engaging interactive storefront using Processing (Java-based coding) and advanced sensor technology. Our concept featured an animated eye that reacted to light levels: closing in darkness and opening in brightness. We enhanced the experience with an Xbox Kinect, enabling the eye to track and follow objects within a specific distance range (0.5 to 1.5 meters) captured by the Kinect camera.To further develop the project, we shifted focus to tracking passing individuals. Initially using the Kinect, we later switched to a RealSense camera with body tracking, allowing the eye to dynamically follow detected bodies. This project showcases a fusion of creative coding and sensor technology, offering an immersive digital experience that engages and surprises passersby.
