About Marioneta<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marioneta is an installation for the Children\u2019s Museum of Pittsburgh which uses the Microsoft Kinect v2 to allow guests to embody a collection of antique puppets in a virtual environment. The focus is on creating an experience wherein elements in the world react to the users\u2019 actions through these puppets.

Why antique puppets?<\/strong>
Puppet models in the experience are based on a collection of puppets donated to the museum by Margo Lovelace. The original puppets are carefully exhibited in a large display case on the wall in the museum. Many of the puppets in the museum\u2019s collection are antiques, fragile or valuable and not suited to hands-on play by the museum\u2019s young visitors. Marioneta uses technology to make museum puppets available for imaginative and interesting play.

What is the experience like?<\/strong>
The experience is composed of auto-rotating seasonal stages and season-related interactive objects that have visual and audial feedback. Users can throw a pumpkin in the fall, pick up an ice ball in winter, play with cowbells in spring, and break a lantern filled with fireflies in summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
