interaction techniques:

In our implementation, we create a linear but interactive music video, which is projected on the wall. And it is supposed to be enclosed in a small partition. Music is loud and beats are strong. The immerse environment is created. The music video contains Tai-Ker icons and pictures of Tai-Ker idols. The lyrics go with a nodding head indicator to lead singing and dancing. On the other hand, video will be kept still and dull if it doesn’t get enough attention. It will play fancier whenever participants get more involved and all dance like Tai-Kers. In addition, the more people are engaged, the more special effects will be applied.

The cross-interaction intends to form a positive cycle to enhance the KTV experiences. Some general rules are defined for the techniques of the music video:

1) If one moves his/her body, the image will get clear
2) If one nods his/her head, images will switch faster.
3) If one shakes his head, the environmental light flashes fancier.
4) If there are more people participate, the media elements (i.e. Tai-Ker symbols, visual effects, text strings and recorded screaming voices) will get mixed more and more.
