Digital Content/ Development pt.2

This entry is more likely to the part where i try the script that is included in the library.

This is the processing part, where i try to understand the language that has been used to project a synthdraw, i've found that the visualization is impressing if i can synchronize it with my synthesizer and replace the the cursor with my range sensor value. But first, I need to understand the script and try to make it communicate with the Arduino IDE using processing.



this is the video of processing the visualization using webcam as the sensory device.
You can see the different when the visualization bar color's tone is changing, it act that way because of the motion has been detected by the webcam.



and this is the plug in for processign that can be used to control the visualization background color, by doing so if this can be sync and communicate with my arduino board and the knob as the controller, i can control the visualization and the output sound together and make it sync smoothly. hopefully this is not impossible.



OK. Now is the SuperCollider part, i altered the script a bit, and make the mouse as the variable to take control the value of the output as it will produce a midi sound based on the mouse x movement. It quite nice for the first timer, i will try to improve my self for the prototyping stage.



The last part, this the flash file that i've found very interesting and cool. This was made purposely for the touch screen project, but i was thinking if can alter the script and make is communicate with arduino IDE it would be great for my project, i just need to have the script for synthesizer that can produce stand alone MIDI sound and find a plug in to make it communicate with swf. Going to do more research on this.

Digital Content/ Development

This is few of video sample that i considered as a lead to my project's visualization, the use of light trails, laser and photon bending graphic seems cool for me. I can barely used them to integrated with the midi sound and let it both sync and spar nicely, so the communication that are going to exist will be projected like super uber cool. 'hopefully'

A light trails graphic or in easy term to recognize is the laser visualization. The graphic presentation is set the audio wave, so intentionally with the tempo, rhythm of the sound has been alter the visualization will also get affected and stridently would create an art piece.






This is taken from mac's screen saver, i saw this visualization and my brains triggered that this would do too. The vibe of the music might not look really sync with the visualization but a credit goes to the inventor because the effort really shown to make sure the visual and audio goes accordingly smooth.



This is another great audio visualization example, the bit and the graphic really does the synchronization goes well. I'd like to see my project goes like this soon, hopefully.



Now, clearly i know what graphic and the type of visualization that's are needed as an output to my project. I should goes on by learning the application and study some of the script to make sure it will 100% works. Meet on the next post! :)

Organization pt.2

Ok, this is the continuous entry for the organization part. For my project, our lecture told us(delta2 student) to come up with the space planning diagram, or in an understanding word the floorchart. Since im not very well in 3D modelling, i'd decided to use google sketch up to design my floorchart, and to make it interesting i put it all together and make it a 2nd teaser video, its kinda lame but, this is all that i can come up with since my skills in 3d are really super uber noob. oho

And this is the video i made to with some label tag in the video to explain how the floorchart will be presented to the audience.

Organization

As one of the criteria for critique 1 is the organization. This is where the progress of my project will be shown in a formal structured ways. After squeezing the wits, re-brainstorming the project and re-check the budget, i've come to this conclusion.

This is my gantt chart for this current trimester, which for Final Year Project 2 and hopefully i will follow my own self schedule. harha



This is the new budget sheet for the FYP2, i've cut the cost here and there, and still manage to re-fix my pocket for some entertainment. Anyways, i managed to get my hand on most of the items on the list, but some of them i need to borrow from my faculty or i will just go straight to my internship place to pick up few things, such as projector and the imac(maybe).





The flowchart that im using is from the previous trimester, since im not changing anything major, so i'll just stick with the last flowchart.
