My long time experience in traditional and digital animation drove me into the idea that user changes several key factors of an animation such as keyframes, characters or environment and gets involved in highly interactive experience rather than just watches what happened in a screen.

Mr. Tech is a puppet with flex sensors in its arms and legs to capture user input and send data to Processing sketches, a series of animation consisted of three episodes of its daily life, cycling, gardening and exercising.

Users can control the action of the virtual character and create their own narratives by controlling the arms and legs of Mr. Tech. It is also responding to the stories by showing its emotions, happiness or sadness, with facial expressions on LED dot matrix.
