Hand From Above is the latest project by Chris O’Shea where a giant hand tickles, resizes and even picks up pedestrians that are within the range of what the camera projects on the big screen.

Chris O’Shea was commissioned by Abandon Normal Devices and Liverpool City Council for BBC Big Screen Liverpool and the Live Sites Network to create something for the BBC Big Screen. Hand From Above interacts with unsuspecting pedestrians; it can tickle, stretch, flick or remove them entirely on the big screen. Chris used OpenFrameworks and OpenCV to build this software.
