Update on P2 - where do I want to be heading?

Gestures .... Movement .... Winding Up / Down .... Speeding up / Slowing down ....

Sketches being begun again today, time to start making some further progress! Gesturistic sketches, here we come!

Project 2: Interaction

With interaction being the key for this next assignment, the goal is currently looking to be either:

  an experiment with gravity and particles
  an experiment into music generation through sliders and on/off circles
  an experiment into the creation of contours through push/pull actions
  an experiment into the moulding of a sphere, through extrusion and subtrusion

Unsure as to whether the 3d modelling is a suitable option for such a short project, and the sound experiment possibly more suited to the next project, however an aspect of sound generation and music would be amazing to include as it adds a new sensory response to the interaction.

Essentially, the outcome for this interaction will ideally be more than a simple response to a visual work caused by the click of a mouse / movement of the mouse. Instead, either sound input / output will be utilised, or the creation of a work that induces a moment of pleasure/suspense/surprise/peace/etc... an emotive response.

The Final Iterations!!

The final iterations in one board. Links will be added soon enough to the individual codes, however these codes will need to be downloaded and run locally in order for the full code to work properly.

Samples of Potential Final Applet Shots Part 2

Again the same as earlier, these are all simple modifications of the initial code, creating a distinct series of applets that can be as strong apart as together.

Samples of Potential Final Applet Shots

All posts are simple screen shots for now, will post up links to final codes in a later post. Each of these experiments were based off simple changes to the bsae inversion circles code, such as changing the iteration jump or the geometry. The two kind-of-grids were adapted slightly in photoshop with the exposure adjustment so that the grid was more visible.

Sussing Out the Correct Coding

Finally worked it out, the correct code so that each iteration causes an iteration to occur. Interesting side effect being, if the user clicks through each iteration too quickly, new patterns emerge due to the overlaying of different stages of iterations from computer lag (not enough time each time to write and reread each image before next iteration begins).
