Title:
Bubbles
Description:
I want to create bubbles that are forming at the bottom of the screen and going up to the top. Each mouse click will create a group of bubbles carryng the captured image of a user. Depending on when the next user comes upon to try it, bubbles on the screen could be a mixture of several people's faces.
From my midterm project, although it was not accomplished to my satisfaction, I got interested in creating new image with a mixture of different images that were drawn by users. This time, I am adding one more layer which is video capturing. Video is not my prior interest, but I realize that it can be a great medium to attract people's attention since people love to observe themselves through the camera.
Through this project, I want to practice the basic Processing concepts of array list, loops, and also the image capturing with video input.
Steps:
1. Create bubbles on the screen.
2. Make each bubble to work with still image.
3. Make bubbles to carry the capture image from live video.
4. Store the capture images into still images so the bubbles can carry the still images of people.
Challenges:
1. Make bubbles to move with natural movement.
2. Make bubbles work with mouse clicks.
3. Capture the image and put into bubbles.
