Project overview:
closer to you is a set of shirts, tethered at the heart that when worn, affect the volume of music and the brightness of light. They were originally created for use in performance, especially dance.
Prototype of shirts:
How it works:
Strands of conductive stretch material are embedded within two of the stretchy connections. These are connected [...]
My original intention was for this stretch sensor to effect the slowing down of audio, but after playing around with the minim library, I realized that was going to be more difficult than I realized. So I decided to instead effect the volume, making the volume decrease as the sensor stretched (or, as the individuals [...]
Like many people, I plan to combine my Pcomp and ICM finals into one project that includes a sensor system connected to Processing to control audio and visuals.
In my former life, before ITP, I was a dancer and a choreographer. I still consider myself one, although I have not done much dance-related work since school [...]
I’ve been playing with the code a bit, trying to create an array that will store the last 20-50 xpos and ypos of the accelerometer, allowing the ellipses to trail across the screen in a more systematic manner. I’ve been unsucessful with the following code:
import processing.serial.*;
Serial myPort;
Paint [] balls = new Paint[50];
void setup(){
size [...]
[UPDATED WITH BETTER SCREENSHOTS]
I used a sketch Joshua and I put together for a previous assignment as a base for this.
My intention was to mount an accelerometer in a way that would allow for a wearable controller. Hopefully in the future I will load this program onto a Lillypad. I also need to calibrate the [...]
I wish I could say I did this lab because I felt so ahead of the game and needed a challenge. The real reason I did it this week is because I read the wrong lab first. But! I got it working with two potentiometers and a switch, however, I’m unsure of the necessity of [...]
Sometimes I wish these labs weren’t so straightforward. I follow the directions step-by-step. I check the diagram. I copy and paste the code. Things usually work. Do I totally understand what is happening? No. But, I realize that things are sinking in as I am occasionally able to actually answer questions other classmates have when [...]
(Or, how I sort-of learned to be a programmer in four weeks.)
Week One: I sucked. I couldn’t grasp the idea that a “sketch” didn’t have to be a recognizable object and that Processing is better for more abstract patterns. So, I made watermelons. Two of them.
Week Two: Collaboration is the heart of ITP, and this [...]
