Final Project Starts

[November 17, 2008]

Adi and I are working together for the Final Project of both ICM and Pcomp. Our common interests are ‘animation’ and ‘interaction’. We did research on traditional animation and contemporary art work related to animation. For now, we have two options to develop. The spinning LED dot matrix and Mr. Tech.

First, we tested the feasibility of LED matrix which would display images drawn on input device by user. In addition to the LED display, the same drawings will appear in processing sketch and start irrespectively animating. User drawing creates both illusion on LEDs and animating objects on processing sketch simultaneously. However, we have to overcome one technical problem in order to realize this idea. At the LED matrix test, we met unexpected result, excessive persistence of vision while lights were spinning. One solution we will try is that whole image will be inverted and turning LEDs off will make a shape.

Second, we tried to make a doll, Mr. Tech, controlled by user. However, we couldn’t make the exact plan for what kind interaction and narrative we will show yet.
