Hand based shadow puppetry was probably the first ever screen based interactive media. Take one pair of hands, a light source and surface to project onto and there you have it!
Tim is right into the whole hand gesture / shadow puppetry thing, performing visuals to accompany my noises at the last Segmentation Fault using a light, a rear projection screen and a roll of gaffer tape [post something on your blog Tim :-p].
This is an image from Hand Shadows To Be Thrown Upon The Wall by Henry Bursill. It was originally published in 1859 and has been scanned and presented online by Project Gutenberg, a free online book distribution initiative.
