Arduino MotorShield Interactive Circus
This project was created for a studio course while studying Interactive Media Development.
The idea being that when someone came into view of the project it would begin to move.
More specifically when the Xbox Kinect tracked a body it would tell Unity body tracked (sends a byte) run the code to Arduino. Arduino would then be told to run the two motors. The person would leave the field of view and the motors would stop.

Materials used:
Arduino
Motorshield (necessary for multiple motors)
Wall Power Supply Adapter
Two Stepper Motors ( taken from old printer)
Xbox Kinect
