I couldn’t finish out the semester without one last post with critters in. While this video is not exclusively about responsive art, per se, it does contain some pretty fun innovations (and has penguins). In particular, the interactive wall adds the dimension of movement to other interactive surfaces we’ve already seen. It can be pre-programmed…

Using the Mac Book Pro’s sudden motion sensor, this guy has modified his computer to allow to play the game Pac Man. The motion sensors are converted to integers which allowed the motion to be translated into a direction to control Pac Man. I found this application very interesting as it makes tools already in…

I thought this installation was amazing, just with how accurate and intriguing the light spot was. I found it interesting that the light had no reflection and that it was a very clear shot. The best part is that it is controlled by web enabled users, constantly tracking people as they walk by.

I thought this particular project was cool. My group for the final project was going to do something similar to this. So, I thought it was cool to see different variations of what you could do with the kid toys. I also thought it was interesting with the different ways you could incorporate sound into…

this video is on Raphael Lozano-Hemmer, whom i plan on presenting on for my AD406 final. This piece is an interactive installation where the heart rates of members of the public are detected by sensors and converted into water waves in a ripple tank. A light show is created by the resulting waves and their…

There have been different experiments with people hooking electrodes up to his/her [or someone’s] face with the result of controlling some sort of twitching facial movement from a third party. Usually, it’s about as useful as it sounds. It’s sort of like a more dignified “why are you hitting yourself.” This video makes it a…

This is an instructional video demonstrating how easy it is to access live webcam feeds from any camera connected to the net. Use wisely.

Honda is developing a mind reading technology and applying it to its robot Asimo. This technology is in its first stage, and the robot fails to understand the commands from time to time. However, according to data collected by Honda the level of accuracy of this technology is 90%, the highest achieved by any company,…

I’m really just posting this because it’s kind of awesome…this guy played Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody using only old computer hardware. m/

An interactive music generator, controlled by moving blocks with symbols around a circular space. Irene Diaz de Leon

The system works by projecting high-speed video onto a rapidly spinning mirror. As the mirror turns, it reflects a different and accurate image to each potential viewer. The rendering algorithm can recreate both virtual and real scenes with correct occlusion, horizontal and vertical perspective, and shading. This display provides a stereoscopic image that can viewed…

I decided on this video because for my final I am writing about this artist for my final. This work is of monumental scale which i think gives it the power it has over the viewer. I think this would be amazing to see in person. This work i think is designed to overwhelm. The…
