Double Trouble



I taped myself sitting on a couch and eating cheetos and pointing a remote control at nothing; acting as if i was watching TV. Then I projected that video onto a screen on a wall and had it loop for infinety. Then i poked the light sensor diode dealy through the screen at the point where the remote control in the video projection would pass over it, and trigger the switch. then i hooked the light switch to a remote control i hacked up, and had it control the change channel button. then pointed the mass of wires and circuit board at a TV set. I positioned the TV set so that, to the viewer, it would look as if the man in the projected video, was looking at the TV set in the room they were standing in. RESULT: when the dooder in the projected pretaped video changes the channel in his world, the TV in the real room changes channels.
I imagined this to be set up in a room and looped forever. The real TV set would have a cable feed to it so that no matter how long it's set up for the guy will always be watching current television shows. I guess the whole thing's just supposed to be funny, and I was mainly just experimenting with electronics and such. I didn't have any comment on anything in mind, I just liked the idea of the pretaped character in the video controling a real life object that had current events playing through it.
The End

Cool idea. Will this be installed?
