INSIDE and OUT: Shadow Emotion Storytelling
Emotional interactions through dynamic shadow projection and tangible objects
Overview
An interactive installation developed for the Media Interaction Design course (Fall 2024) at KAIST. "INSIDE and OUT" overcomes the limitations of text-based emotional AI by integrating tangible objects and dynamic shadows to represent emotions like curiosity, fear, anger, and love. Using real-time projection mapping, object detection, and voice interaction, the system enables users to explore emotions in a multidimensional way.
Technical Approach
Real-time projection mapping with Unity and C#, computer vision via OpenCV for object detection, voice interaction for emotional dialogue. The system maps physical shadows of tangible objects to emotional states, creating a seamless connection between conceptual feelings and physical interaction.
