This projet was shown at LAVAL VIRTUAL 2005 by my class,
and awarded at IVRC 2005, Gifu

It is an interactive installation on
the circus theme,
with 5 differents games.
It was done in MotionBuilder, a mocap software,
to learn us how far we can deflect a software from its purpose to make anything we want.
