Cycle 2 – Ashley Browne

For cycle 2, I wanted to start thinking about how the experience could be multiplayer and how both players would have to work together to create an end goal. In this current stage, one player is using the video synthesizer to pass a signal to the screen while player 2 is directly altering the image using the Makey Makey as a controller. The Makeymakey uses the arrow keys to increase the scale of each sphere or color on screen. The video synthesizer can affect the clarity of the image and its hue and contrast. 

Overall, I think this was a great step towards the next iteration of the project. Some of the feedback I received was about introducing sound and how that could connect to both players having specific goals in the experience. Also, I need to continue stress testing the unity file because after a while it seemed to have bugs. 

For cycle 3, I want to finalize what the audio may be like and figure out what the 2nd video input will be for the synthesizer. I also will be finalizing the hardware for the synthesizer, using parts that are sturdier for multiple uses– to prepare for the open house.
