The Digital Hand Puppetry prototype was presented at Mostra UP. Participants were able to experiment the manipulation of virtual puppets with their hands using a Leapmotion controller.

The digital hand puppetry prototype attracted many participants.

Interesting insights from the participants made me think in other directions for this project.

Most of the participants were able to manipulate the puppets in a few seconds without any help. Some of the participants shacked their hands and flexed their fingers with rapid movements, others went for a slow approach. When using their left hand, participants become surprise with the mirror movement of their hands and with the physic simulation interaction that opens a different approach of interacting with the puppet and the props. Like a real hand making adjustments.
