Graphical Rendering Application for Movement
I created a software application to render graphics based on dancer's movements.
The Setup
- Written in Processing, this is a Java based project.
- 2 WiTilts v3.0, which are tri-axis accelerometer
- 1 Bluetooth dongle, to extend the range that I can receive the signal from
The Application
A choreographer uses the interface to control the overall look and feel of the graphics that would be rendered in the dance. The main aspects of the program are the fading colors of the background, the swiggles that go across the screen, and the particle system. For example whether the choreographer wants darker colors in general or a more blue hued piece or they want thicker swiggles or more particles. These settings are all easily controlled by the setup interface.
