Description

The Red Carpet will have the look and feel of an actual read carpet but without the actual poperotzy. We are using a video camera which will detect the foreground from the background. Then inside the foreground the camera will compute the amount of pixels that represent skin color. This will provide a percentage which has a direct corallation to the number of flashes that go off and how much sound will be produced. Or the more skin the user shows more flashes and the louder the crowd will sound.
