A study of light and self perception

The goal of the project was to experiment with light and image distortion in an interesting way. We wanted to distort images using physical objects and software. We booked a study room in Hunt library and planned out the initial version. The laptop would take a picture of the user and send it to the distortion software.  The distorted image would be projected onto a grid of mirrors, which would reflect the light around the room in an interesting manner:

To distort the projector in an interesting way, we created a modifiable wall of mirrors:

In the end, our final setup was a bit different from the initial plan:

Isha wrote the software that we used to distort the image:
