Digital Snow

Digital Snow was an interactive installation originally created with Duncan Bone for Exposure’s Gallery Windows in three locations worldwide.

As pedestrians walked past the window they saw a reflection augmented with simulated digital snow. The snow behaves as it would in the real world: settling on their shoulders, on cars and ledges in the street, and can be brushed or shaken off, encouraging a simple, playful interaction.

Digital Snow has now been updated and ported to the Mac, using OpenCV, and you can download it below. It should work nicely with your iSight - let me know if you have any problems.

Developed in C++, OpenGL, using OpenCV and SDL.
