In Your Hands

Team Project for Winter show 2007 NYU ITP

Interactive copy generator - In Your Hands / Concept

There are more than 2,500 languages and letters in the world. All letters have

a strong influence on creating different cultures and nationality of the world.

Since their roots are not started from themselves but from people, these words

would not be meaningful if human being don’t exist. Only when people write,

read, listen, and record the letters, it can have the reason of existence. It means

that there is no life force in the letter combination before he or she needs it.

Interactive copy generator based on Motion Detection -How to use

Project “In Your Hands” works based on motion detection of video camera. A video camera will detect your

two hand’s position and calculate the distance between two hands on the screen. The message which called

from the Internet will generate animations only between your two hand. During you make it readable, you can

see a beautiful disjointing and combining of letter combination.

At first, there are bunch of characters on the screen.

When a person puts his or her hands wide apart, The video begins to capture the hands and

characters will gather together within fixed area between two hands.

A person has to move his or her hands and try to find the hidden spot in order to make characters readable.

When he or she find the hidden spot, characters move to the origin position and it becomes readable.

If a person claps, new characters come up and the hidden spots change their positions.
