The dystopian window

This piece was done as a final project for the avsys class. The concept is meant to be an installation piece that reveals a dystopian vision of the future when someone walks by. The camera senses motion and plays back a high pitched distorted sound and a dark image. The frequency of the sound changes depending on where the motion is detected, this is indicated by vertical colored lines that go across the screen as one moves. The project was built with OpenFrameworks and uses SuperCollider for audio.

Jnx an augmented, tactile interface for stress relief

jnxwebbanner

Jnx is an augmented, tactile interface for stress relief, in the form of a plush doll. The core idea of Jnx is based around the concept of squeezing something, much like stress busters, which is emulated by squeezing the dolls throat.

The look and feel of Jnx is inspired by sack puppets and voodoo dolls to add a mystical aura to the interaction. The interface emulates a voodoo doll like behavior by allowing the user to strangle it or twist it arms and legs. The doll responds to the users actions in the form of audio playback.
