Harleqin Books just celebrated their 60th Anniversary at the OpenHouse Gallery in New York. The event showcased cover art from as early as 1949. We developed an interactive installation piece which allowed users to put their photo on the cover of a Harlequin Book.
Using motion-capture technology, the user first selects a cover from a handful of images. Then she positions her face over the cover art and a webcam takes a picture and composites the image. The image is then uploaded to a website and the user is given a passcode to retrieve it.
Check out the video here:

The interactive presentation, webcam capture and image compositing are all done in Flash. The motion-capture technology was developed by EyeMagnet and the design by quizative.
