Step 1: Preparatory Research and Analysis

  • A project with Processing for sound visualization is the first to serve as inspiration for my final project. That is a visualizer with lines extending from the center changing length based on musical input. I chose this project because this is an interactive one with Processing, which matches my interpretation of interaction. I think it can give feedback to the sound using images as soon as possible. To make people get to know aesthetics better.
  • Another is also a Processing design which uses mouse function. It is a human-like image and its eyeballs can follow your mouse. Why I use this to be a reference is it is a simple project but with great design and entertainment. And it is highly related to what we are learning now.And it is an ability I can get by learning. So it is a good reference. 
  • My initial definition of interaction is that, listen, consider and give feedback. And this definition is constantly confirmed by my projects. And what’s more,as I explore more in this field, I think it should create something new and meaningful.As Tigoe published in the blog, “planning interactive artwork is similar to a director working with actors”(2012). A successful interactive project is to create some meaningful. It can be a useful technology or just an inspiring composition.
