Players make shadow puppets on the outside of a tent. Their shadow is recorded, animated, and projected back as a creature that walks around the tent wall.
Built in TouchDesigner using MediaPipe for shadow detection and a feedback network for animation. Installed at Whaaat Festival and several other venues — reception was strong once people discovered the loop, and the core interaction (make shadow → find your critter) landed consistently well.

AR pong controlled by hand tracking, projected onto a horizontal surface so players face each other across the table.
Built in TouchDesigner with MediaPipe for hand detection and a Python core for game logic. A feedback network with noise displacement creates a smoky trail effect on the ball.
