**** 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.

Description

‘Latex Pixels’ is a system for exploring swarm robotics, system intelligence, and cloud interaction.

An array of reconfigurable hexagon shaped modules are nested together in a configuration of the user’s choosing. Each pixel knows itself and recognizes its neighbors and then broadcasts what it knows back to the main micro-controller.

The interaction is facilitated by a socket connection with a user’s phone which allows them to interact with the installation in real time. There are several modes for the system: a passive mode for when there is no user interacting with the system, a communication mode that represents data of the user’s choosing, and an active interaction mode that allows the user to manipulate the system in real time.
