"Kage no Sekai": interactive animation of shadow based on physical action

ABSTRACT

"Kage no Sekai" is an interactive content. It makes us able to communicate through the actual shadow with the marvelous creatures; that we can see when we look in the shadow. The world, which we can see when we look in to the shadow of the objects on the table, is making their own world view that we won't usually find out. Users can communicate with the world of shadow by approaching to the space or, by using a shadow made by putting an object or, changing the shadow's shape by moving the object's direction or their own shadow.
