MSVC
Last night a bunch of us went to the Microsoft campus to celebrate the launch of the new Microsoft Visitor Center. Hornall Anderson was responsible for a lot of the interactive and motion pieces on display inside the space.
I worked on one of the installations near the exit.
The first part of my project consists of a photo kiosk that allows people to create a statement ala touchscreen magnetic poetry. Once they create their poem, they then take they're picture. Their photo/poem then join a flow of other visitors who have also created their photo/poem.
The result shows up around the corner from the photo kiosk and is projected on a 13' by 8' foot array of glass panels. From each poem, a "theme" word is chosen and displayed along with other visitors who have used that same theme word in their poem. For example, if I used the word "compassion" in my poem, I get to see how other visitors used the word "compassion" along with their photos. It's just a simple way to show connections.
See some other photos I took during the party on my flickr.

Very cool. I saw these photos on your Flickr, and was curious. What type of hardware were you using for the first part of the installation? Similar to the SkyQ panels, I'm assuming?
Actually they're just 32" touchscreens units (i.e. better touch response). The equipment we used for SkyQ were separate monitor and touchscreen units that we put together.
