Coding art is fun. I got one self-motivated project (the first one) and several course-based projects.
Pop-upColor
Pop-upColor is an generative art project I started in 2021. Initially, I just played with celular autometa to create some 3D patterns with Python in Rhinoceros. I thought it would be interesting to make a more interactive web application to customize and generate these patterns. So, I used Three.js to write this project. [] []
Yo-yoCap
Yo-yoCap explores the enhancement of yo-yo performance art through the application of motion capture technology, aiming to create a more dynamic and interactive audio-visual spectacle. By utilizing 2D motion capture with OpenCV and transmitting data to MAX/MSP for processing, this research investigates how real-time tracking of yo-yo movements can alter background music and visualizations. The project involves analyzing key parameters such as yo-yo position and movement, and integrating these with an interactive system that responds to the performer’s actions.
spank2skate (It is cool and could be cooler)
Skateboarding is always cool. However, some people may be unable to enjoy playing it physically as well as others due to some limitations such as skills, age, disabilities, and even psychological fear. The concept of spank2skate is to embrace more people outside the skateboard community and let them have some fun.
fakeVR (This is a very funny project)
VR (virtual reality) has been a useful visual tool for designers, especially architecture people, to present and experience their 3D environment during the prototyping process and presentation. The human-centered experience provided by VR can give people a relatively realistic sense of 3D space and an isolated environment to explore space. However, most VR presentation options require a high-performance headset or computer with a fancy graphic card. fakeVR tries to provide a low-fi VR option (simulated VR experience) only using smartphones (inertial motion tracking) for prototype purposes.
