Idea#1 - webcam interaction


My webcam idea uses feed's in order for the people to communicate with each other. I want to put two webcams in two different positions around stonehouse and have alternate feeds projected on each wall so that the person in one of the positions can see the person in the other and visa versa. This idea came from a sponsored "walkaphon" seen on stickam (which host's feeds) where 300 people interacted within this space on the website walking around and the user could watch them. This idea has the same fundamental idea's however instead of the camera moving around and there being a load of people interacting, i thought I would make it smaller so that only a few people who is walking past it can interact and the same on the other side. I think that when people walk past they will think it was a typical display that reflects its own image but instead it will be feeding from a different camera in a different position so when they go to look at themselves they will see the other person in their projection, this will confuse them because it is an abnormal display to see and be a part of so the reactions could be worth watching. Whether or not the person will realise that they are being watched from another place by the people on their screen I do not know because unless certain physical moves are carried out by the people the webcam is directed at, such as waving, then interaction will be minimal.


The two users communicate directly into the webcam and it is shown on the television, monitor or projector. This link between the webcam and the altenative monitor could be made via a website such as stickam dot come or something similar, it could be a direct communication should as usb via a wire which would be the easiest and most practical if the two points wasnt too far apart but via stickam or the internet this doesnt matter much.
