Big Shadow is a public installation promoting the Xbox game Blue Dragon in which the viewers shadow becomes a dragon during fights.
The promotion of the game using Big Shadow is based on shadow-play:
"We projected magnified shadows of ordinary people in town and created a system whereby they could play with their own shadows. A person’s shadow is projected as a giant shadow image, which can suddenly change into the shape of a dragon. This creates a new and engaging interactive experience.
A shadow can also be manipulated via the Web while viewing a webcam image. We wanted to provide a fresh experience that links the city and the Internet as well as people and shadows."

Just had a thought that mght be of interest to you. One of my favorite designers creates interactive installations, and she did one where text falls on a wall, and the letters rest on your shadow spelling out a poem. Your shadow can pick up shadows of the text and letters like magic. If that sounds interesting to you here it is:
