Category Members openFrameworks People , Posted on:

obake28

Created by Dhairya Dand and Robert Hemsley, the project seeks to develop gestures to evolve three-dimensional surfaces using 2.5D interaction. Learning from existing displays which are two-dimensional and using optical illusion and depth sensing cameras, the flat elastic surface is used as a way to manipulate surfaces and objects in three-dimensional space. The project is called 'Obake' (o-baa-keh) imagines what if our screens were elastic, we could literally pinch and pull them.

Screen Capture to Sound – by Satoru Higa

Created using openFrameworks, this little app Satoru Higa uses screen capture as a music sequencer. Each time app is ran, the transparent window uses the desktop as the source for sound.

FabricKeyboard – Stretchable fabric (sensate media) as a musical instrument

Created by the Responsive Environments team at the MIT Media Lab, the ‘FabricKeyboard’ explores the concept of stretchable fabric “sensate media” as a musical instrument. The work is a response to the current developments of textile sensors, stretchable nature of knitted fabrics, and vast growth of new digital music instruments.

Theometrica – Generative sound synthesis instrument inspired by acupuncture

Inspired by acupuncture, this sculptural instrument is designed to control sound elements in real time by fixing specific pins into a spinning disk.
