From Dec '23: This button-shaped device is a prototype created during my MFA Thesis research on affective interactive design. #DelightfulDesign, #Whimsy, #HCI, #AlternateInput, #Arduino, #Unity
Image shows a hand pressing down on a large inflatable button, resulting in a 3D frog will expanding its' throat sac to croak.

Today's #PixelArt class demo - Seamless tiles in an isometric view
Collection of isometric tiles for a pixel art style game. Each modular tile including; sand, rocks, shoreline, and water, can be repeated to create a larger beach scene.

From Dec '23: This interactive device is a prototype created during my MFA Thesis research on affective interactive design. When the 27in (.68meter) wooden ring is turned, the spiral graphics update through stages of order and seeming disarray. #Arduino, #Processing, #AlternateInput, #HCI
Four images showing different states of interaction. There are perforations along the perimeter of the wooden wheel. In the center is a 19 inch screen with geometric patterns, much like a completed spirograph drawing.

First post on BlueSky!
Today I'm exploring the Kinect camera's depth-sensing features for future touch-less interactive inputs.
Using @processing.org thanks @thecodingtrain.com
Black and white images captured from the Kinect depth-sensing camera. One picture demonstrates a gradient to describe object distance from camera. The second image is a mosaic of large pixels - the original gif animated with a silly dance.
