The Interactive City

Interactive City: Restroom Museum of Art

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…

Interactive City: Alien Solar System

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…

Interactive City: Ohio, Ohio.

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…

Interactive City: Stagnation

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…

Interactive City: Magic Ball

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…

Interactive City: Draw Your Moves

    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…

Interactive City: Restroom Museum of Art

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…

Interactive City: Hit!

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….

Interactive City: Magic Ball

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…

Interactive City: Stagnation

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…

Interactive City: A Break from the Ads

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…

Interactive City: Black and White Euphoria

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…

Interactive City: Alien Solar System

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…

Interactive City: Take What You Need

  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…

Interactive City: Ohio, Ohio.

For project two, I have decided to create an interactive that is on the computer.  The inspiration for this project came from working on my conference project regarding arrays, and these greeting cards I really like.  The greeting cards list…

Interactive City: Run Away With Me

I have been working on character’s movement in the game. I am in process of using motion detection coding to make character move forward and forward only. This turned out to be the biggest hurdle I have to jump over….

Interactive City: Rise and Fall

I have been working on my project, and I created an Array for my conference project, in order to store all the information of the leaves.  An Array allows for a lot of data to be stored and retrieved in…

Interactive City: Moving Clarity

Playing with OpenCV for Processing reference and examples, I have created a program that successfully identifies the motion detected area of interest within a webcam feed, and draws to it. This was done using the the setBackgroundSubtraction() and findContours() methods in…

Interactive City: Please Disturb

Previously in my conference post I stated that the animals I am trying to produce would be a collection of animated actions. However, upon reconsidering the process of actually animating the animal sketches I would be making, it seems more…

Interactive City: Music in Me

A few changes have been made regarding my conference project “Music in Me”. For example, I changed the song choices that the user can play. Instead of playing Sweet Sun, Gooey, and Breezeblocks, that are all very similar , I am…
