The Hunger Games

An interactive installation where visitors made branded content of themselves through face tracking and augmented visuals, built for sharing.

The installation's screen: brackets frame a visitor's face, with the Mockingjay symbol painted over it in red and white. Beside it the same visitor raises a fist.

The camera finds a face and paints it. Images: Thinkingbox

The project

An installation for Lionsgate at Comic-Con. Visitors stepped up, the installation tracked their face, and they left with branded content of themselves to share.

My part

I created the installation with a Kinect and face tracking, on Node.js and React, with REST APIs behind it. It was designed for high engagement and for sharing.

A tablet screen titled "Share your poster": a poster of a painted face beside a form for a name and an email address.
