Week 11 Interactive Environment Updates

For the final, I wish to do a smaller version, which only includes the environment for studying, and if possible, reading.

For this week, I’ve watched Touch Designer tutorials and this one taught me a lot:

Here’s some of the bunch of stuffs I made along with the tutorial that I think is helpful in my project:

Visualiser-like effect
Oil in water effect

I was using noise a lot to randomly generate effects.

Best results: noise bg + moving gradient + distortion on frame
another version which is not as great but can work out

In conclusion, I’ll continue working on this and refine it to look good.

Today’s consultation notes:

– brochure is useful in showcasing the work before people see it so it should be showcased during presentation / exhibition and can even be used as a brochure for selling my device if its a real product 😀

– like an app or something that can connect to the device, or link to heartrate, etc. However personally, I feel like I should have everything to be attached to the device directly to make it as simple as possible. I think an IR distance sensor (to detect restlessness / movement) and a gesture sensor will work well with the interface, together with IoT to detect time and temperature.

– studying colours and colour theory psychology and colour in mood lighting can be helpful
