Telekinize the Rainbow

Posted by hyperspacemedia on February 20, 2013

Wi-Fi robots were fitted with a wireless receiver enabling them to receive messages from a server, movements captured by the user’s webcam were translated into commands and relayed directly to the robot, and then Skittles were attached to each of the robots via magnets, making it seem that the Skittle was moving on its own. Users could log in via Facebook and control their allocated Skittle with their eye movements in real-time via their webcam. Certain eye movements also triggered ‘special events’ to show up on screen.
