This is the updated 2.0 version of our Kinect Interactive Puppet prototype ( vimeo.com/16985224 ).

Puppet Parade is an interactive installation that allows children to use their arms to puppeteer larger than life creatures projected on the wall in front of them. Children can also step in to the environment and interact with the puppets directly, petting them or making food for them to eat. This dual interactive setup allows children to perform alongside the puppets, blurring the line between the 'audience' and the puppeteers and creating an endlessly playful dialogue between the children in the space and the children puppeteering the creatures.

Puppet Parade premiered at the 2011 Cinekid festival in Amsterdam. Puppet Parade is made with openFrameworks and the ofxKinect addon.

    Nice work you two. Great touch with the kids interacting when up close. Did the puppets make sound when they open their mouth?

    Thanks!
    Yeah they made some great sounds :)
    We'll put up a small edit showing some of the live sound too, as its a big part of the project.
