Here’s the first video of what we created during our cosy little workshop. The focus quickly shifted to the Wiimote and we used MaxMSP and the Arduino board to control servos which in turn make our marionettes move. This is just a proof of concept, hopefully we’ll find the time to work on this further.

Thanks goes especially to Jonas Hielscher and Kuaishen Auson for their participation and contribution!
