HEART PROJECTION

The heart projection that will be outline of the boxes will glow when there is sound detected so import the heart image from Illustrator and make into a movie clip in Flash . Then I add the coding and it will detect the sound .

Here is the coding :

myMic = Microphone.get();

attachAudio (myMic);

micInterval = setInterval (this,"micCheck",20);

function micCheck (){

heart._alpha = myMic.activityLevel;

}

HEART

Here I use illustrator to illustrate a heart shape for the outline of the boxes that will be projected by the projector .

here is the image :

Testing Program

Here im testing the program, I also created a video to document the whole process .

Here are some picture and the documented video is uploaded on the group blog:

MICROPHONE DETECTOR

Just found a website that detect microphone movement and it will move the movie clip in flash

Check the website :

PROGRAM

We had a consultation with Mr Hafizudin and suggested that we use a camera detection program and also use flash action script.

SCRIPTING

Im currently looking for a script that can be used for the project and I found a beat detection script.

Here is the script :

import beat.BeatEngine;   import beat.BeatEvent;    var sound:Sound = new YourSound();   sound.play();    var engine:BeatEngine = new BeatEngine();   engine.addEventListener(BeatEvent.LOW_BEAT, lowHandler);   engine.addEventListener(BeatEvent.MED_BEAT, medHandler);   engine.addEventListener(BeatEvent.HI_BEAT, hiHandler);    function lowHandler(e:BeatEvent):void {     doSemethingLow(e.power);//action for low frequency beat detection   }    function medHandler(e:BeatEvent):void {     doSemethingMedium(e.power); //action for medium frequency beat detection   }    function hiHandler(e:BeatEvent):void {     doSemethingHigh(e.power); //action for high frequency beat detection   }

RESEARCH

I did a research on the Flashlight and the Proposal of the interactive installation art.

Here is the proposal:

Research Topic: Happiness, Sound & Light

Problem Identification: To understand how sound and light can trigger feelings

Aim & Objective: To create interactive installation art project that can express happiness when interacting with the project.

The allow people to play and interact with the project and entertain them and make them feel happy.

It will also a will make people more relax and enjoy interacting with the project without worrying about anything else.

Motivation: The interactive installation project will make people want to try and make music when they use the torch light at the different part of the box this will motivate them to make a song or a tune and they will feel satisfied when they achieved their goal

Ideation & Concept: This is having an installation with the boxes arranged in heart shape, covered with red cloth. Each box is a tone of a piano key, when user shines the light on the box, it will play the tone out loud, creating a series of piano keyboard or allowing user to create a music piece through this installation. Reason why it is done in love shape is to indicate the feel of love and with the red cloth to support the lovely kind of feeling. Adding to music tones, it creates a harmony and rhythmic atmosphere. Flashing lights on boxes raises curiosity in user to explore every box. This may allow user to have fun and feeling happy and enjoyable in playing with this installation.

Rejected

The first main idea got rejected so I suggested that we use flashlight/ torchlight to flash the object so that sound will be heard and I sketch the idea but there are a few changes but we still use the flashlight concept:

My Role In Group Project

As for ideation part of the assignment I did some sketches from the idea that my group mate and I come up with here are my sketches :
