Don’t Look Back

Inspired by classic horror movie tropes of ghosts in the mirror, Don't look back is a network of connected systems where you can only discern what is happening by gazing into the mirror. In the house resides a ghost, the illuminated reflection of which is visible; however, when you turn around, it vanishes. The interactive installation is governed by face detection from a webcam connected to the mirror. This activates the servo motor, which tracks the movement of the face. The LED lighting up the ghost's fabric is also controlled by the same logic.
