Augmented Reality: Living Sasquatch
I helped work on this project, so if you get a chance please check out www.livingsasquatch.com.

This works via what's being called "augmented reality," and it's best explained by just going to the site and experimenting. What's going on here is that your webcam registers a specific image (in this case it's Sasquatch's footprint on a piece of paper that you print out beforehand) and then projects a hologramatic Sasquatch on top of that image.

Your Sasquatch will move whenever you move the footprint, even a full 360 degrees. Your Sasquatch will change size depending on whether you have a big footprint or a tiny footprint. You can record your Sasquatch so that he talks, jumps, dances, punches, or gets hit in the groin. The effect is pretty remarkable and will make you say "whoa" when you try it for the first time.

Here's a couple videos I put together:

Help Me Obi-Wan Kenobi
Breakfast of Champions
