Effects and Causes
summary
Claim: spectacle comes from specific behaviors and feedback not vague “examples.” Describes built work and tools: Sniff is a storefront projection dog driven by camera blob tracking whose short animations made in Unity and Blender encode friendliness, dominance and enthusiasm; an interactive mirror overlays an animal head that mimics expressions with a delay; Night Day uses a 300‑pound rock as the input to raise a virtual sun. Reports public testing: people and real dogs engage, imitation and surprise are repeatable.
