Preliminary ideas

My proposed ideas for my Interactive Installation:

Idea No.1- Motion tracking movement, using particles and "Swoosh!"

This would be the "Simple" idea of picking up movement i.e someone walks passed the camera. Creates a "Swoosh" Like effect, using particles. Perhaps speed and movement of particles varies dependent on user's speed of movement? (I am not sure how feasible this would be?). Also, perhaps creating simple simple swoosh sounds, also dependent on the amount of movement from the user and the speed in which they are travelling at.

Similar idea (Image found during Google search):


This could also encorporate some of the most widely used colours in Nike Advertising also used for current Nike trainer ranges, which are Black, White, Grey and Red.

I know this is a fictional trainer, but this may help people to identify it to the Nike Brand, before seeing any slogans or information on the new range.

Idea No.2: Colour tracking

This idea inlvolves colour tracking a specific colour present. I would develop the idea further, by perhaps adpating the code to react in different ways, when the user moves the tracked item at different speeds or distances, again creating a "Swoosh"- like effect to fit in with the Nike Brand Logo.Perhaps it could also be seen as a "magic" Wand, using particles to create the swoosh effect, tracking the chosen colour. The user may also be able to change the colour that is being tracked on the screen and different "Swooshing" effects occur accordingly. I have had a little practice with colour tracking, which worked ok, but my experiments were in need of some improvement!:
