Concept I
Interactive piece that relies on simple 2D animations. An entity goes about its routine. For example. A figure continues to “build a house” or a figure carries a heavy object. By pressing a button the routine is disrupted. The house crumples, or the heavy object is dropped. Eventually the figure returns to its original state.
Concept II
A traditionally rendered image with pencil or marker. A capacitive sensor senses touch and illuminates a back panel when someone puts their hand on the screen. A CG wireframe of a hand animates behind the image.
Concept III
A collection of Light Painting gesture drawings of the figure.
Artist Questions
- Will the LED matrix provide enough resolution to portray the detail I need?
- Is it possible to play simple animations on these boards?
Higher resolution the panel, the more expensive it goes.
I really like your 2nd idea where a traditional static drawing becomes a dynamic digital piece when touched. I don’t think an LED matrix would have the detail for a 3D wireframe. It could definitely do a hand shape which is still cool and maybe you could have the user interact with the animation to change its size using an ultrasonic sensor or potentiometer knob.
