Stardust: final flocking

flocking, openframeworks, process, stardust

Stardust was well under way. After the last testing, I noticed that I needed to make the boids more “shimmery” in order to communicate stardust, maybe change the speed and colour as well. I went back to my visual references and found an image from a photoshoot I took. The glitter captured looked like what…

The flocking system in Stardust was taking shape. Talking with my tutors, I learned that there was a way to work with flocking systems in a way that was easier to display in real-time than what I had. This involved using a frame buffer object, or FBO, and “place” the flocking system in it. I…

It was exciting to create my first flocking system, and I couldn’t wait to test it full-scale with people. Stardust was on its way to completion! I used a very rough set-up just to test how it felt like (I was impatient and wanted to test it as fast as possible). Lo-res pictures capture the…

At this point in the Stardust project, I was happy with the results. However, I wanted to develop the visual language further, from the glitter-like stars to a more organic system . Responding to participants’ feedback, I created a way for the stardust to move around, change direction and flow in an organic way. I…

After completing the screen-tests, I had an idea of what type of visual language to use. Before I continued developing the software, I tested the stating images but without a screen this time. I projected them at the participant’s body directly. When I did this, I noticed something very important for the whole experience. the…

Another stage of the Stardust process: testing out the visual language of the stars. I took the visual references that I had researched and through the program I created, I used them as silhouettes of the participant’s bodies, in real time. This allowed me to test out the system and to decide along with participants…

A big part of my design process involves testing out and having a play with people. When I have experimented with body-based interaction it is necessary to test the interactive systems on a scale of 1:1. To set up for this, is time consuming. I was lucky to use a photo studio at Khio, so…
