Our space, "Take a Seat," encourages participants to stop and listen to the world around them. When a single person enters the space, music starts, and when they sit down, it stops. When they stand back up, the music restarts. As more people enter, the music won't stop until everyone in the space is sitting down, and the music won't restart until everyone in the space stands back up. A key part of our experience is letting users figure out themselves what exactly their actions are causing.

This robot was all about creating a learning-by-doing environment between the robot and the user. The intention was to create a robot that responded to a user's actions with some of it's own. Over the course of a few minute experience, the user could gain an understanding of how to control the robot using his or her actions. Alternatively, given the amount of variation in potential responses, the user may find themselves trying to teach the robot how they want it to respond.

Based on Microsoft Kinect, KScan3D and Unity, the project aims to reconstruct 3D models from human players to create immersive interactive experience where players are able to interact with the avatar with the same physical experience in the virtual world.
