  In this project, by utilizing the real-time human gestures captured by
Kinect, we attempted to provide a self-made interactive light system PIXEL for
interacting with the visitor to play a simple SNAKE game. By paralleling the
low power single color LED lights and lighting up them separately or together,
we provided a big LED board with multiple colors while at the time safe enough
without using high tension electricity. We analysed the factors that influence
the final visual effect of the light pixel, the novel gestures that can be
recognized well by current computer vision algorithms and did several
experiments to decide the final interactive method. We also believe this
project provides a way to help people reconsider the relationship between the
old and the new and the possibility to bring old things reborn by the new
technologies.
