Recently was fasinated by the aesthetics of turing patterns. Wanted to tinker a little bit with the algorithm and values to see the outcomes. Started exploring and reading codes by Kyle McDonald, Jonathan McCabe and Martin Schneider. Here are some of my explorations.
Prototype of an ongoing project Engrave. More to come very soon..
Thanks to Suvani Suri for helping me to document this and also Manasi for her amazing tripod.
This is a part of another project where we were interested in comparing different modes of interface for the game of Pong. The game is built in such a way that the user can choose either Mouse / Keyboard / Wii / iPhone / Webcam (color tracking) / Microsoft Kinect to play the game. This video shows the game being played using kinect.

A bouncing ball game built in Processing controlled using Microsoft Kinect.

The long awaited Microsoft Kinect finally reached NID. Connected few of my old processing sketches with openkinect’s average point tracking. Felt like a magician controlling those ribbons and glowing particle. Thanks to Suvani Suri for helping me to document this and also Manasi for her amazing tripod.
Tinkered with openCV blob codes for a while. Enjoyed playing with virtual balls. Just sad that the framerate is very low. Openframeworks might give a better result I guess.
Was good to see a lot of interactive new media stuff in one place. Almost 8/10 projects were using Microsoft Kinect 🙂 😦 I guess, 2009 was the year of iPhone and 2011 is the year of Kinect for us.
Tried doing some dynamic stuff this week using cos(), sin(), random() functions in processing. Simply have to admit that Trigonometry Rocks !
Tried using cos(), sin(), random() functions in processing to draw dots and lines.. was amazed to see how changing a value in the equation gives rise to completely new pattern. One full day of playing with trigonometric functions.
You can find the source code here.
Was experimenting and learning PGraphics in Processing. Played around Algirdas Rascius’s code.
Here are the results…
