Does it work?

The answer is yes, surprisingly well even. The participants looks uncomfortable at the beginning, maybe because of the unusual physical act they have to perform in a public space but as soon as new trees appear their focus moves the projected image. Every single person I have observed then goes to full speed, realizes that is not optimal and eventually settles at a speed which in the simulation is considered as balanced.

Technically it works well too even though the camera needs good lightning in order to detect movement. This could also easily be solved by using an infrared camera instead of a regular webcam.

In my project proposal I stated that I would consider an expert evaluation. This was based on the idea of creating interpretations of existing works. As the project ended up being my own creation instead I decided that it did not have the same level of relevancy and discarded the idea.
