Class notes on 9/30 regarding PP3

PP3 GOAL: Create an interactive ‘dance’ piece (as a group), each should create a moment of reaction from the ‘dancer’

Group goals/questions:

• Focus on art!
• What will we do?
• How will we do it?
• What is my job?
• Establish perimeters and workflow?
• Understand the big picture?
• How is the sensing being done?
• What is the system design?

Resources:

• 4 projectors
• 3 projectors on floor
• 2 HDMI Cameras
• Top down camera with infra red
• Kinect
• Light/sound system
• Isadora
• Max/MSP
• Myo (bracelets)
• MoLa
• Various sensors (?)

Group 1: Sarah, Josh, Connor, “Computer Vision Patch”

• Turn on MoLa, video input, write simple computer vision (CV) patch that gives XY coordinates
• Program lighting system, provide outputs and know what channels they’re on

Channels (1- 10)

1. x
2. y
3. Velocity
4. Height
5. Width

All x2 for the 2 cameras (top down and front), 2nd camera would be same  identifiers but on channels 6-10.

Group 2: John, Lexi, Anna, “Projector System”

• Listen to channels 1-10 of 2 cameras, take data, create patch and a place for them (6 quadrants were discussed, each in charge of one)

Options:

• Create scenes and implement triggers
• Each create our own user actor in the same scene

(This is by no means an exhaustive or exclusive list, just my general notes from today!)
