Interactive 2

After getting some feedback about our work, we’ve decided to change a few things. First of all, we’ve decided to use the amount of color on the screen, rather than the user’s face to change the ambient music. The reason for this was due to the fact that Jit.faces works intermittently, and required the user to maintain full frontal eye contact. Instead, Read more →

We’ve decided to add cv.jit.faces into the patch to detect the user’s face position and scale in relation to the screen to affect the type of music that will be played.

We altered this by taking image from the webcam instead of using images as in the youtube tutorial. For the webcam image, we got it to randomise brightness, contrast and Read more →

As our project required the use of color mediums and body movements to trigger audio outputs as a form of interaction for our planned interactive installation, we tested out some patches to look for various possibilities. 

Triggering of audio outputs by recognizing the position of the held object (Yellow object) on the screen. Different audio Read more →

Winzaw and I looked at some tutorials found on youtube and tried to mash some of them together.

So the patch records voice for 8 seconds and playback in a robotic tune for twice over. and this audio playback will affect the particles to generate some visual feedback. Afterwhich the process happens again automatically. had to create a randomizer to randomize Read more →

After much discussion and refinement, we have decided to create a cave experience through the use of audio in a dark room setting. A confined dark room is a perfect metaphor for a cave. Each participant will be given light sticks to placed on both his/her ankles. These light sources served as trackers for the cameras put in Read more →
