My final project took a turn away from raymarching and into the vertex shader to create geometric shapes. The physical piece consists of a Makey Makey kit for touch points to spawn the formations, and an arduino slider and force sensor to edit their configuration. The piece is designed for two people, requiring one hand…

Final Concept Sketch
We all live four dimensional lives, and this got me thinking of the shape of someone’s life. When two people cross paths, they create a story together, a unique shape of their connection. For this project I wish to have two pressure sensor touch points that will create 3D shapes. When both points are pressed,…
Arduino Sketch
For my Arduino sketch, I decide to experiment and see how well Unity could read sensor data. The result was that there no little delay, but the data can be a little messy, although I have some ideas how to fix them. This has been the result of my experimentation so far. When the circle…
AudioScape
Hey all, I focused on a audio visualizer based on the amplitude of microphone input. I definitely could use more time with this one, but it was good proof of concept.
Meme Remix
For the meme remix I remixed a meme about King Julien from the movie Madagascar. The user is watching the official video clip from Madagascar until they interact with the video to unleash horrors upon King Julien to stop him from continuing to “move it”. The interaction ends with the original meme I found. Poor…
Lone Reality – Interactive Touch
My project for interactive touch, like the concept explores reality and how others’ perception can ground our own. The physical portion includes three faces with touch points on the eyes and ears. Each ear plays three notes, and each eye animates away a filter on a digital art piece. Once all the eyes have been…
Interactive Touch – Input Sketch
I’ve finished the physical component of my interactive object. The object is a cloth creation, using an old cardboard box as a canvas. The visual is a bit abstract and made of many pieces. This project has been a bit experimental in terms of style, as I allowed the piece have a loose, sketchy, look,…
Interactive Touch Concept Sketch – Kaamil
For my interactive touch project I aim to explore the concept of reality, and how other people’s perceptions can act as an extension of our own to ground us in reality. For my piece, I aim to make two sets of eyes and ears from different entities. When the user makes contact with just one…
Makey Makey Audio Player – Kaamil
Hello! I recorded some sounds of my classical guitar for this one. Featuring me, playing water with a random tune of my own creation. Enjoy guys!
Data Art – Spiritual Divisions
For my updated data art project, I chose to keep the piece more abstract to communicate the emotion around how peoples grow and divide. In this interaction, the mouse movement is connected to the passage of time. The shapes begin with less divisions and sharing colors, but as time moves forward, they grow larger, change…
Kaamil Lokhandwala Data Sketch: Spiritual Isolation
This piece highlights the religious axis of my identity. I was raised in a specific branch of Shia Islam. Around 10% of the Muslim population is Shia, and the other 90% is Sunni. The Shia branch my family was associated with only has one million members, 0.1 percent of the Muslim population. I’ve always felt…

Greetings! I’m Kaamil (Kah-mill) born just forty minutes out of Worcester, but with long visits/trips to both India and Pakistan. I think I’ve always wanted to be an artist, even as a kid, but it took me some time to loop back around and realize it. I’m no stranger to programming or math, and have…
