Don't Let the bedbugs bite

Inspiration

Have you ever felt something graze your feet in the middle of the night under your sheets? Well, I am bringing that nightmare to life!

What It does

 "Don't Let the Bedbugs Bite!" is an Interactive Installation utilizing color tracking and projection mapping to induce a horrifying nightmare experience! 

How I Built It

It utilizes the Keystone Library in Processing to do the projection mapping. I used an everyday projector on a tripod. In order to take in color data from the environment, I attached a webcam to a tripod and filmed the mattress. I then passed the camera through the processing sketch where I analyzed the change pixels to generate spiders at the right moment. 

what is next for Don't let the bedbugs bite

After completing a functional prototype I am looking to install this installation in an actual bed environment! Let me know if you are interested in working together!
