one of the first things I experimented with when I started learning ActionScript in flash was how to plug in calculus into the darn animations. It seems like dejavu but I oh well, I need to figure out how to use math in the Processing environment. So here it is, the mighty Sine curve: Sine […]
Class assignment number two for ICM was to make something move. I decided to take a silly picture of my self and import it to animate my self bouncing around the screen. I think its a little entertaining? no? Bouncing Oscar.
Continuing our observation assignment for Phys Comp. Heather and I decided to go to Home Depot and observe the self checkout registers and see how people react to the new technology. We gathered some interesting data that can be downloaded as an Excel spread sheet here. Unfortunately about half of the data was lost, but […]
I got a brand new and shiny Arduino board in my Phys. Comp. Lab kit. At first I was intimidated by its microprocessor and dark green hue. It was such a great moment when I plugged it into my laptop’s USB connection and got a little blinking light telling me it was alive! Step 2 […]
While sitting at Union Square in downtown New York City, a couple of my class mates (Heather and Katya) and I began an observation of the massive crowds around the park. We started off by noticing that there was a large number of people walking around using their cell phone, handheld game consoles, digital cameras […]
Finally, the first step for Virtual Reality to meet the real world. In order to have interactivity with computers (have computers understand us) we must have three important things. Transducers, circuits and microcontrollers. Circuits are the the bridge to communication and I am exited to finally put together all these interesting parts that I always […]
Back in June, I began to plan a web site for Milk and Honey Imports which is a company that specializes in importing high fashion garments to the US. Today it launches into the virtual world. The web site was created in flash to give the user a rich visual experience while navigating the site […]
So I had my first ICM (Intro. to Computational Media) class. Professor Dan O’Sullivan introduced the class to Processing, a Java based programming language, which is considered a “high level” language used for interface development. Now I know there are a million bagillion other languages out there ( well a dozen others actually) So why […]
Its finally up and running! 400 and something hours later, The Posewood Phase 1 website Launches to the world wide web. Its amazing how much stuff you have to deal with, when there are 4 agencies involved in the production of one web site. So now you know who was in charge of building it […]
It took a whole week of Programming and a few months of corporate head aches but it is finally up and running. Its was specially confusing since I was part Creative Director, part Developer and Designer. See for your self!
