Nathan Clune – Final Project

Two images of the physical interface. Footage of the project being played, showing both the digital output and the physical input. Screen capture of the project in action.

Nathan Clune – Final Project Concept Sketch

My sketch is for a basic two-player shooter game. Each player one button (to shoot up or down) and one ribbon sensor (to move left or right). Bullets will be coming from the left side of the screen, and the players have to work together to make sure they don’t reach the right side. The…

Nathan Clune – Arduino Demo Sketch

My Arduino demo sketch is a model of the human eye. It uses the light sensor as input, and displays how the human eye would respond to the given level of brightness. The pupil dilates to take in more light when brightness is low, and the pupil shrinks to take in less light when brightness…

Nathan Clune – Audio Input Sketch

My audio input sketch is a voice-controlled airplane. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to record it for a number of reasons involving my PC / microphone, but the Max code is more or less complete. The user can control the altitude of the plane through audio input (ideally by making engine noises). High pitched sounds…

Nathan Clune – Meme Remix Sketch

The meme in question is softbody Steve. You can find a bunch of variants on YouTube, but the video below is a high-quality remake of the original. The idea is basically to make a sound board loaded with random memes which can be played over this video. Which sounds go where is arbitrary even in…

Nathan Clune – Interactive Touch Project

The image below shows the physical interface for my project. The six wires (excluding the ground wire) correspond to the six main buttons on the Makey Makey. The task is for the user to provide inputs on the square interface according to what is shown on screen. Below footage below is a screen capture of…

Nathan Clune – Interactive Touch Input Sketch

This is the physical component of my interactive touch project. It’s the input device for a special kind of puzzle which will be shown on screen. The clips which are unattached or attached to the cardboard are mobile, but the clips attached to the Makey Makey must stay in place. The function of these clips…

Nathan Clune – Interactive Touch Concept “Sketch”

So I don’t actually have a sketch because I had this idea half an hour before class. I was planning on submitting my first idea late since I wanted to discuss the project more to get idea, but inspiration came to me out of nowhere. I’m not able to draw up a compelling sketch as…

Nathan Clune – Data Art Project

ARTIST’S QUESTION: Click the two links and see the project demonstrations before reading. Are you able to infer what is being measured here? How do you feel about it? My first draft for this project only included one meter, the entire thing was essentially three rectangles. The final version includes not six meters instead of…

Nathan Clune Data Sketch

Being the privileged cis white male college student I am, it’s not common that I find myself in the minority. This was quite apparent during the class exercise from last week. I was within the circle on every single axis except for one; religion. I’ve always found it interesting how people have so much faith…

I’m currently attending Worcester Polytechnic Institute as an Interactive Media & Game Design major. I have some reservations about pursuing the game industry, but I know I want to work in some sort of visual design. I feel…
