Interactive 2

MEMORIES OF SOUND

Bao Song Yu & Zhou Yang

For our final project, we decided to shift away from the idea of creating an interactive installation depicting the experience of walking in a cave in a dark room. We feel that the cave experience is cliche and does not add meaning to our project of using Read more →

Task: Superimposing a facial image of another person on your face on camera

Detection of the face using the camera & drawing out its perimeters (sensing) Placing another face, upload a facial .jpg with black background Blending the image onto the detected face and follow it, soften its edges (effecting)

First part: The detection of the face and calculating its perimeters is similar to Read more →

Task: Create a photobooth programme that directs the user to the centre of the screen, and takes a photo 3 seconds after he/she is in the right position.

Detection of the face and drawing its perimeters (sensing) Different audio tracks triggered based on the position of the user (effecting): Right – play “move left!” Left – play “move right!” Up – play “go Read more →

We found this youtube tutorial on how to make images into a mesh and affect it with audio input. This takes the brightest points and extrude outward to the viewer. see here

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 →

Here’s a series of add ons for interactivity ideas:

AXIS – Anatomy of space “kaleidoscopic journey full of movement with AXIS“

This experiments with the concept of space and human interactivity with gravity and  sound.

“The visualisation of sound for AXIS arrived through a music notation system synchronised to the generation of pure light – expanded points and lines.”

Okay, I finally uploaded my video documentation for the magic/fading mirror tutorial. I will be uploading more in time to come. 😀

Objective -To paste an image on the person’s face.

Sensing – cv.jit.face to track the subject’s face. Utilize the output data of the face tracking to determine the location of the face. Tie the image to the four corners of the face.

Assignment 04 was a  challenging but fun assignment to work on, I was having a lot of trouble with this assignment as it Read more →

Objective -To corrects the person on where to stand in front of the camera.

Sensing – cv.jit.face to track the subject’s face. Utilize the output data of the face tracking to determine the location of the face. Once the border overlap with the “bounding box”, play the respective audio to correct the person standing in front.

Assignment 03 was a fun assignment 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 →
