My project is to extend the virtual instrument I developed in Music 220b using the Xbox Kinect sensor, which combines a 3D depth-map with a conventional camera. The 3 overarching goals for this project are:
* utilize higher-level semantic information analyzed from the Kinect data stream (i.e. identifying limbs/torso/head)
* explore the relationship between performable instrument and installation
* further explore overdubbed video looping concepts

Started sketching interaction concepts. The one I like most so far is the "racquetball" idea, in which balls bounce back and forth between foreground/background and the user can catch them or something. But really, can I come up with something that doesn't involve balls?
