How do people use the exhibit? What do they do, from start to finish?

How are people attracted to the exhibit?

• The live video feed being projected onto the fabric.
• When no one is in the exhibit, the disco ball (which houses the video camera) will provide the attraction - as it throws reflected light onto the floor and fabric, creating an animated pattern which is captured by the camera and re-projected onto the fabric.
  

What is the initial interaction?  What happens when a visitor approaches the exhibit?

• Upon entering the area, the shadows of the viewers will interrupt the projected images
  
• Interaction doesn't require anything more than passing in front of a projector
  
• Once inside the area, the viewer's images will be projected on the outside of the fabric
  

What is the main interaction?  What do people do and how does the exhibit respond while they are playing/using it?  How long does the whole experience take?  Is it social or individual?

• The main interaction occurs when the viewer is inside the fabric triangle, and their image is projected onto the floor (full color composite image, rotated 30 degrees) and onto the fabric panels (as three color separation)
  
• The experience will also become about how their shadows are blocking and revealing layers of the colored shapes, since the projectors will have overlapping fields of color.
  
• The experience can be individual, as only one person is needed to change the projected images, and one person's shadow will reveal and hide the colored projected fields. However, it often becomes communal as peoples shadows from the other sides of the fabric begin to change viewers experiences of the piece. When there are shadows, people make shadow puppets, etc.
• The whole experience can take a minute, or can last much longer as people play and explore.
• The secondary experience is the capture of people's image as they are in the additive color section from the video feed, and then have their image stored on their badge to later be printed on a single piece of transparency (8.5 x 11) as a "four up color separation" or as a full color image. With the images correctly rotated, they can fold the transparency to create the full color image, or unfold it to see each color separation.
  

How does the experience end?  What's the reward?  How do people know when they are done?

• The experience is not linear, so there is no "ending." The experience is immersive.
  

How does the exhibit reset for the next player, both in the case when the previous user goes through the whole thing or leaves early?

• As the video feed and projections are live, there is no need to reset the exhibit. The experience is not linear, but immersive.
