The Muppet Mobile Lab is a theme park exhibit for Disney’s California Adventure. Part of Disney’s “Living Characters Initiative” project, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker are “brought to life” through the use of advanced Audio-Animatronic remote-control-puppeteering technology.
Interactive Puppet Theater makes users control digital puppet on the screen using their own hands. The Silhouette Character has the strong self-projection and the symbolism.
User can easily control puppet on the screen by wearing the prepared globes or color chips and putting his/her hands inside a small box with curtains just like the stage.
Using the theatrical expression from simplistic movement of the puppet that is made from computational codes, and the hands and the fingers that are one of the most intimate interfaces of human being, we can re-illuminate the artistic form, named puppet show in digital media.
