Spatial Media: Look out below!
This project aims to be much more lighthearted than the TrafficFlow project. My primary interest in the Spatial Media final project was to do something large – at an architectural scale. Anderson Miller had a similar desire and we came up with an utterly ridiculous idea.

counting change
As an in-class exercise for Spatial Media we were asked to develop a program which would identify coins in a series of supplied images and tally up their total value. In one hour. Since time was limited, I decided to use pixel count as a rough estimate of each coin’s size. This works very reliably […]

TrafficFlow: Prototype
Ameya and I presented the prototype of TrafficFlow yesterday at ITP for our Spatial Media midterm project. It is an installation-based table which visualizes wireless traffic on a local network as gracefully flowing rivers of light. Each user on a network has an individual connection to the internet and may have a conceptual model of […]

Spatial Media: TrafficFlow update
Simple updates on the project. The previz applet has mouse control for each of the emitters. It’s interesting to see how the glowing packets influence each other when in close proximity. Here’s the applet. Camera vision. Started working with openFrameworks to do the visual tracking of objects on the table. Unexposed portions of developed film […]

Spatial Media: previz
Started to put together the initial visualizations of the data flowing between the “cloud” and the potential devices on the table. The central area is the router, or the network conduit to the internet; each node around the periphery is a device on the table. In this rough demo the red and blue streams are […]

Spatial Media: Dining Table
Situational Lighting for dining table. Dining tables in the home seem to be used for many functions and can be a central hub of activity in small living spaces. Three situations quickly come to my mind: entertaining, working and eating. I propose a situational reactive illumination system for the dining room table.

Spatial Media: TrafficFlow Implementation
The TrafficFlow project has changed due to comments received during the first critique. The table is circular with a smooth surface. User places an internet connected device on the table (mobile phone, PDA, laptop). After visiting the project’s website with the device and performing a brief initialization, particles representing internet traffic emanate from the device […]

Spatial Media: Traffic Flow
Tangible interface for exploring local network traffic. The installation will be been designed to visualize the flow of information within a local area network. The goal is to make visible the invisible layer of information that comprises our information infrastructure which generally flows beneath a general level of awareness.

Spatial Media: Fivesies
The couch is often prime space in a living room during social gatherings and securing a spot on it can be a priority. Eventually, the couch sitter will have to get up, to use the restroom, to get a drink or snacks, to take a phone call, etc.. “Calling fives” or “fivesies” declares your intention […]

Spatial Media: Camera Coding
Assignment 2(b): Make an app that allows you to get a single pixel color from live video and fill a rectangle with that color. I’ve done similar things countless times in Processing (and Director before that), so I used this as an opportunity to dive into openFrameworks. I have been building up my experience of […]
