counting souvenirs

Little Poika from japanese Bandai is a little flame who wants to be a ballet-dancer. 
This lamp/toy enters her candle-light stage as it gets dark (dancing around!) and goes to hide if you blow at her or it gets light enough again. (Poika is also supposed to play a tune if you tap the edge of the candle but mine does not seem to want to..)

flourishing wall



Throwing red balls at a blank white wall was all off a sudden a fantastic suprising and beautiful experience as it looked like the ball hitting the wall made projected flowers erupt and grow in a very neat animated manner.
(the solution for this perfect timing was not touch-sensored but a cam. that detected the red ball as it was in the air, and positioned "seeds"/ plants to be projected at that spot milliseconds after.)
