Interactive video installation

Posts: 2
Firstly I'm new to BASIC STAMP... got to start somewhere and hoped someone would advise me so I get the best start.
I'm embarking on an interactive installation project. I want to create an environment with projected looped video imagery (very short loop just to create a sense of slight movement- say 3 secs?) As a participant moves closer to the image, it will become 'in-focus' and visaversa... So·the amount of focus will depend·on the distance of the participants from the projected image.
Could anyone share their·experience·of achieving this kind of interaction? I'm thinking of using an ultrasonic sensor and·Basic Stamp but am not sure if this is the best approach. What about MIDI. Can I use Macromedia Director along with Stamp? (Sorry if that is a stupid question).
Please bear with me and feel free to over-explain everything... my knowledge is low at this point but I'm a quick learner
THANKS
