Pressure Project II

For our second pressure project we were tasked with creating a project with a Single person experience and a interface. As I was already thinking about story for my final project I wanted integrate intimacy and ideas of story told by the audience. I wanted to create a space in which the viewer was prompted to tell a story and then be audience to other stories about the same topic. I also want to using unconventional tactile Interface.

In the end I create a system which read one of my shirts and looked at the color to determine if it was there or not.  if the shirt was present it would trigger a text on the screen, that instructed the viewer to tell a story. This then would be captured to the computer and would be played along with all the other stories after the party was done. In theory this would work but in practice it kind of failed.  I don’t give myself time and the space to calibrate the computers understanding of the shirt under new lighting conditions.  And I had not quite figured out how do use Isadora’s captured to disk actor.

There where ideas in it that I were very attracted and will continue to work on. I really like the idea of a tactile interface being an everyday object, especially when the object hold significance or comfort. I was also interested in the different stories that me emerge from someone simply talking into a computer.
