Stardust: screen tests
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…

Behind the scenes
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…
Stardust process: alpha mask
It was a milestone in my project to have a working system that captures the body’s silhouette in real-time. I had a lot of fun testing out images, adjusting the projection size, and seeing how people reacted to it, specially when it was displayed 1:1. First tests of myself in front of the screen: And…
Stardust Process: OF
To create the interactive system for Stardust I needed a tool that would allow me to track people in real time, and then project back the particle system I would create (the stars) on people’s bodies. I had a go at Processing before (for my AR Hockey project) but after discussing it with my tutors,…
Stardust Process
Before posting Stardust in its final form, I want to delve into the process a bit more. The previous post showed full-scale screen tests of how the interactive system in Stardust works (at least the core). These screen-tests were done to figure out what type of visual language was best to communicate enchantment and magic.…
From the beginning…
I’ve been thinking on what got me to this Master’s in the first place. Why did I propose the project I did, and I have spent the last two years experimenting, researching and reaching out of my comfort zone. (These thoughts also come back when I’m in need of motivation). The reason I wanted to…
Back in the saddle
With Spring around the corner (or at least, that’s what I like to think, but living in Norway snow melting is not necessarily warm-time yet) I have been feeling enthusiastic about my MA final project, and the whole journey that this Master’s has meant for me professionally and personally. I have neglected blogging for quite…
Pop-up Video Film
Here is the film of my Pop-up book + projection presentation! It is a short film showing snippets of how it worked and an overall feel of it. The actual presentation was 20 minutes long. 🙂
