Final Project – Red String

This term I’ve had a lot of fun integrating animation in with our interactive pieces and wanted to show that in my final project; I determined that for the theme of “connections” I would make short animations of ghosts tied by the red strings of fate and create a playboard to control what audio and…

Hannah Belan – Final Project Concept Sketch

For my final project, I would like to combine the makey makey audio-visual project as well as the face-tracking technology to make a musical instrument for individuals to play.

Computer Vision/Audio Input Sketch – Squish The Squirrel

He jump. He stretch. He squish. All with the power of your screams. Ok maybe screams is an overstatement. Either way, I present to you my lil squirrel doodle that I made react to audio input. It’s a simple system, but as soon as we started discussing this project in class I knew I wanted…

Meme Remix Sketch – Lettuce Wrap

My meme remix is based off of two pieces of media that bring me immense joy: The “Dancing” meme that is just videos of individuals doing goofy groovy dances, and a short video of a man saying “I’m a piece of lettuce” that my friends and I often reference. I made a few short clips…

Interactive Touch -Hannah Belan/Shiib

Shiib’s Interactive Touch Concept Sketch

With Autumn quickly approaching and the atmosphere around WPI working hard to achieve a crispy cool perfection (you can especially feel it in the early morning!), I felt that it was only appropriate to share the nostalgic feeling that Autumn provokes through this project. I aim to set up several items that remind me of…

Data Art – Hannah Belan

For my updated Data Art piece I wanted to take my visual to the next level by making it into a spiral staircase that appeared when the user clicks a toggle. I am currently still working on the animation and getting the stairs into the correct positioning, but here is my current work šŸ™‚ I…

Data Sketch – Special Needs Learning Assistance

For my data sketch I decided to work with a topic that was prevalent in my young life – the amount of assistance that those with learning/cognitive disabilities receive in their schooling years. Growing up I have seen the disregard that some teachers and schools in general have for those with disabilities, specifically watching as…
