SKETCH THREE: project process


Recently been researching on how to connect the wiimote with MAX MSP (working with the aka.object patches) and trying to get the IR sensor working. We started to implement some new patches and had a chance to get the two lines to connect with each other. Once we get that input working, we can then replace the existing dot and replace it with the location of our user with the wiimotes IR information being received. Areas that we are focusing for this week is the visual aspect in: (1) how are we trying to show this community network, (2) how do I belong in this network in relations to person X, (3) how will I be connected to person X and how do I know that I am connected with them?

Based on last weeks discussion with Jinsil and Greg we talked about having a 'blobs' represent 'us' and as we merge or 'physically bump into' each other, we then create a larger blog that derives from smaller blobs. The way we are 'networked' will be this physical or spatial connection. Seeing how long we were in close proximity and considering the touching aspect. Other recent updates are using the (line $1 $2) and (lineto $1 $2) message boxes to draw out lines in jit.lcd rather than worrying about implementing the expression portion in our project.
