Patches the Digital Puppet

For Halloween this year I dressed up as a 5' tall talking jack-o-lantern. I've just posted a video about the project and some of the interactions people had with Patches on Halloween night.

Check it out in the Audio & Video section of my site.

Poor man's rear-projection screen....

That kind of stuff. I was looking for more opaque, but home depot didn't have it. Clear worked pretty well, just more suseptible to light pollution from the front, and unwanted stuff being seen behind.

I stretched it tight around the opening of the garage.

That link is simply to painter's plastic sheeting.
