For Cycle 2: —I decided to completely abandon my idea of using this project as a means to push my thesis work forward, and decided to instead use this as a way to explore an audio-driven game. The game itself is an interactive piece that uses the body as a “human tuning-fork”. The programs that would be used are Isadora and Max/MSP. Isadora would send the messages via an OSC message to Max, and would therein transmit a sound based on those OSC messages. My intentions are to use the body tracking from a Kinect, or Orbbec, to tune a pitch to match another “fixed” pitch (this would also be sent to Max). To begin: —I drew out my initial idea on a whiteboard of how the experience would start. This included:
—For now there are 3 screens: Welcome, Goals, and Game-play. The welcome screen includes all of the introductory information for the game, including how the experience will play out and a small example. The goals screen shows what the player needs to do; it’s a 3-out-of-5 win/lose gambit. The game-play screen shows the timer, a visual representation of the countdown, and where the player has won/lost a round.
—To elaborate upon this, I proposed the idea to the group and had some feedback/questions in terms of game-play, visuals. The setup thankfully made sense to the group (and myself). The comments are as follows: >>Game-play:
>>Visuals:
—My next steps include (in order, hopefully):
