Having just started using video in our projects, I would definitely like to incoorporate video interaction in my final project. I've been interested in having a camera recognize facial expressions that can be used as part of some sort of game. Perhaps not quite a game in the usual sense, but some sort of interactive landscape that responds to body language and basic facial recognition such as angry or happy. Either emotion could affect how the image on a screen looks, going from desolate badlands to plush paradise. In addition to the landscape, a simple character can be controlled by the user, nothing complicated, maybe just a bouncing ball that responds to basic hand movements or sound input.
I have no idea how to do any of that, but that's why it should be a great challenge.
Another idea I would like to try is somehow using facial recognition to create entities that could interact with each other related to the emotions of the participants. So one example I might like to try is to have participants stand in front of a camera, have their image captured, and then turned into an entity such as fish in a tank. A bunch of people would all create their own fish avatar... a fishatar if you will. And don't know.. they could eat each other or something.
