StareOff Documentation, Sensor Fest 2010

These are the pictures from the StareOff installation by Luis Fernadez, Saro (last name), Axel (last name), and Seth Hunter.

All pictures can be found on my Flickr account: StareOff Photoset on Flickr >>

StareOff uses blink detection from two cameras to frame a co-located face to face interaction as a staring contest. The game is over when the computer detects that one person has blinked! It says "you have lost the staring contest!"

Users are linked by RFID 'ik' tags to a social network, and the videos of the winners and losers are uploaded to their profiles, and a rotating collage of 16 losing moments in the gallery space.
