"Wall of Sound" is a large scale, interactive drawing and musical installation that combines a custom-built, hands-free digital interface and video projection to give you the unexpected, magical power to draw music in mid-air.

Description

“Wall of Sound” is a large scale, interactive drawing and musical installation that combines a custom-built, hands-free digital interface and video projection to give you the unexpected, magical power to draw music in mid-air. With a wave of the hand, users generate marks and tones simultaneously across a large video projection (or screen), creating instantaneous musical visualizations. Inspired in equal parts by Brian Eno's “Bloom” app and Disney's “The Sorcerer's Apprentice”, the interface for “Wall of Sound” is powered by the Leap Motion Controller API. A touch-based mobile version is currently under development and may also be displayed as part of this exhibition.

An early iteration of the project was displayed at the Museum of the Moving Image’s Drawing On Everything exhibition (April 11, 2014/Queens, NY); a video of this initial “connect-the-dots” version is available at http://justinr.me/2014/04/drawing-on-everything-wall-of-sound. “Wall of Sound” was originally designed for Shantell Martin's Drawing On Everything course and further developed in Lauren McCarthy's Creative Javascript course.

**** This project would be a part of UX LAB: A journey into the Cooper Hewitt ****

**** Prefer you to watch this VDO https://vimeo.com/93448180 ****

Change perceptions of the museum from a boring and too conceptual place into a fun and interesting place through the Cooper Hewitt Museum website. The idea is… “Viewing art should be as fun as watching other web entertainments.” So, we are going to make the collection of the Cooper Hewitt come alive with a personal music video that integrates the art collection, song, together with your own move through a web cam.

How it works:

1. Enter the site.

2. Select the theme. (Each them has a few animated images and song.)

3. Learn about the collection before get started.

4. Start making your VDO.

5. Save or share your VDO.

6. Done and explore other collections.

bodyRef provides guidance to users on how to set and accomplish fitness and nutrition goals by utilizing a team of healthcare professionals (HCPs).

Description

With the assistance of a healthcare professional, users create a health profile and allow bodyRef access to their tracked data. bodyRef will annotate data summaries provided by the tracking device. Users can then accept or reject individual annotations noted on the data summaries. Accepted annotations will trigger personalized advice from HCPs who provide medical guidance on how to achieve goals throughout the week. To start, the intended audience will be high-risk individuals such as those diagnosed with metabolic disease. Moving forward, bodyRef audiences will be expanded to special populations such as pregnant women and the elderly. Even further down the line recovering athletes will become targeted users as well.
