Month: November 2015

My conference project has evolved from a heads-up display to a motion activated aura. The first versions of my new aura project had a camera background and the aura randomly shifted color. Now It has evolved into two mirrored auras…

So far the project is going ok. I am currently waiting for approval from student life on my display. I am also working on art pieces selection and creating frames that would add to “fanciness” of the art. The hardest…

For my second project I want to create an alien solar system. So far I have sketched out what I want and am trying to figure out how I want it to be made interactive. I started with building a…

For my conference work I have decided to partially build a holographic illusion. Using plastic, I will create a rhombus with the fine point in the middle of the structure. I will be building this on using the repurposed monitor…

I attempted to create a subtle narrative involving these girls interacting with each other and their dimly lit house. I wanted to transform the corner of the wall into a place that spied on these girls and let the viewer…

My interactive ‘Ohio, Ohio’ has proved to be quite difficult to conceptualize.  I received feedback that it was not an interesting enough interaction, which is very true.  I have been looking at different typefaces to add visual difference to the…

For the hallucination room, I attempted to create an installation playing on the invisible systems which we embed cognitively. Orbital systems and their paradoxical relationship to systems of a disruptive cognitive nature could change our perception of reality. Largely, I…

For this project, I have been working on a growing concern I first had when working on this project. The major difference between the machines I am drawing influence from and the code I am working on now is that…

For my second project, I’m making a “magic 8 ball” that predicts answers to the users’ yes/no questions. So far, the code that I’ve used incorporates a text selector. This allows the ball to generate random text when the user…

    I decided to change my project to a digital interaction instead of an analog one, since my project #1 was an analog interaction. So my idea for project #2 is to use motion code to move colored shapes following…

A house becomes alive with the memories created from living/interacting in it. It is more than a structure of shelter, it is the environment that represents family, socializing, privacy, and personal style. I want to create a medium sized structure that…

This clip of sculptural map we watched in class inspired me the most. I want to create my own sculptural map since it is a good  way of showing interesting images and self-animating borders.  I really enjoy doing projection mapping on…

For project number two, I have decided to take the idea we have discussed during class about interactive display and irony into real life. I will be creating an analog interactive space of ‘irony’ by turning Heimbold’s bathroom into a…

So far, I learned how to use the Sonia library in Processing to monitor the level of sound input from my laptop microphone. In the gif above, I try to simulate a belt that transports shapes from left to right….

For my second project, I wanted to create something similar to a magic 8 ball. The user will ask it a yes/no question out loud or in their head. Then, they will click on the ball and it will answer…

For my second project I want to create worthless interaction. There is a machine which has gained popularity over the internet for creating a truly useless function. The user flips a switch which activates a mechanism that pushes the switch…

Commercials are annoying. Especially when you have to watch them before your favorite songs or videos. Yes. I’m talking to you, Spotify and YouTube. For me, Spotify is a great place to get some new music and have a fresh…

For my conference project, I planned on creating a black and white design that would change based on the user’s movement. So far, I have been able to create a sketch with motion detection. At first, I wasn’t sure how…

I want to create an alien solar system, to which a new planet or moon is added every time somebody clicks their mouse. These planets will of course be spinning and moving in a circle around the sun. I thought…

  For project #2 I wanted to create something that could give people boost of happiness or confidence even if it was just for a minute. I wanted to be able to give the user whatever they needed at that…
