I want to make a video play when someone walks past. (Processing and Arduino)

Hello,
I'm rather new to this. I'm doing an art installation and using an IR sensor I want to make a video play once the person has walked past it. They will be roughly 50cm away before it should play.
I have started code with help from a friend and when I hit run the numbers get bigger when I move my hand closer and the video sound is heard (I would like to see the picture too) at the beginning once i've first pressed run but once it has finishes when I put my hand back there the video doesn't replay. Here is the code -
/**
* Serial Call-Response
* by Tom Igoe.
*
* Sends a byte out the serial port, and reads 3 bytes in.
* Sets foregound color, xpos, and ypos of a circle onstage
* using the values returned from the serial port.
* Thanks to Daniel Shiffman and Greg Shakar for the improvements.
*
* Note: This sketch assumes that the device on the other end of the serial
* port is going to send a single byte of value 65 (ASCII A) on startup.
* The sketch waits for that byte, then sends an ASCII A whenever
* it wants more data.
