How to set up a Public Window

Public Window (http://www.publicwindow.net) is an open source project which allows artists to display their creations in a window and have people from all around the world interact with it. This is a step-by-step guide on how to set up a Public Window of your own.

A Public Window consists of an artwork connected via an Arduino to a PC with a touchscreen. When someone walks by that window, he or she can than interact with the artwork by pressing buttons on the touchscreen. There are camera's as well so that the art can be viewed and controlled from another Public Window.

Step 1: Requirements

You will need the following things:

1. A window (or any other place to show your project).
2. A computer with Windows XP or later.
3. An internet connection.
4. An account on http://www.publicwindow.net (get it here )
5. The Public Window software. Download here: http://www.publicwindow.net/download
