Bascially they were building a multistage augmented reality version of the story Alice in Wonderland. You could describe it as a small themepark filled with several installations.

The staff of this project asked me if I could design the sound and light atmosphere setting for this project. Furthermore they wanted that the sound & light experience changed to the location of the visitor. So I created the Atmosfactory. Which was a flexible atmosphere arranger which could be triggered from external triggers (IE user is in installation x) or on time intervals. I designed this flexibility because I would not be able to work on spot after a few months because I had to move to Sweden.

Here is a screenshot on how the interface looked liked. Because I was paid for developing this project I cannot put online the sources of this project.

The applet can be seen here + sourcecodes

You can really easy implement this cube class in your action script just by writing:

var interactivecube:interactiveCube = new interactiveCube(width, height, depth, segmentsT, segmentsS, colorFront, colorBack, colorFrontOver, colorBackOver);

The colors should be set in hexadecimals, as you can see I wrote this class so you can set a front and a back color and the same for the color while hovering.

Here is a zipfile with a demo use (creating 20 cubes with random hover colors) and see the actual working SWF here

The reasons are simple: We start our tech module tomorrow and we are supposed to set up a tech blog. I will utilize this blog to focus upon my tech specialisation and tech experiments within actionscript, processing, vvvv, max/msp the web and so fort. The second reason is that this blog will become a part of my portfolio as well.

As with everything new, this one has it’s parts which should be reorganised, redeveloped, redesigned. But I hope no-one will notice those minor changes. I imported the most of my old blog today, which could make it a bit chaotic, I shall try to cristallize.

Some older projects will be reposted sometime tomorrow.

For the rest.

Puss och kram!

PS. bigup wordpress, never thought it would be that easy.

As you can imagine, it was quite intensive holiday. Therefore I managed to get a cold just before flying back into the Swedish snowstorms which I am supposed to do Today.

So the last weeks there hasn’t be many updates on my blog, actually quite none. People started to question if I was still alive, I noticed the exponentially raising request for an update. There are several other motivations for not updating my blog this much anymore, but I will now to please you all.

First off there is “The Complete Lack of Time” to do this. My pipeline is kind off clogged with projects to be finished. To give you an idea on the workload: the backend of the new ProSafeSecurity website, the backend of the Buisness Management Class website. These sites will be finished before the end of January. And developed for both sites: Asphodel, which is my custom build easy expandable CMS system for future freelance websites to come.

Second in the series “The Complete Lack of Time” there is this portfolio module we are in right now. I have been thinking redoing my portfolio again, but with crazy images to pixel noise ideas. I have been thinking to create an row of images on the website, which explodes into autonomous pixels, which travel around the screen on their own way. When your mousecursor is close to the hotspot where the image was supposed to be, the pixels return to right place in the image. For those who are getting scared of visiting: I will make a plain html version with just blue links and images. Oh well, experiments are going nice. Still im thinking of a way to provide a page with work/lab/blog, therefore i try to keep it low profile on this blog if i am going to move things around.

Then on top all this I hijacked the role of “The Interactive Art Director” for the crewsite, or to be said better, the class website. An prestigious project where like 30 classmates work on and is supposed to be finished somewhere in February. More I am not allowed to say.

And I have been pondering about my future on Hyper Island but I didn’t have “The Great Amount of Time” before the holidays to think it completely through. So before “The Final Conclusion” I intended to keep it a bit quiet. As you can see im going code all the way, therefore I chose my specialisation to be Tech. I had an Design specialisation before on my previous education, but because the world is crowded with designers it’s hard to stick your head out. I intend to nurture my design passions in this specialisation. I’m developing myself more to an area of computer generated motion & design, combined with a development towards a better understanding on interaction design. Therefore my first purchase of 2008 (next to a hangover) is the Processing Handbook because i want to make Processing my own (ActionScript is as well on that list).

In the end I want to make you aware that all my inspirational blogposts have moved here, and I would motivate you to keep track of my del.icio.us

Oh, Reclaim Magenta has become one of the 25 most discussed posts of 2007 on Computerlove.

Have a good 2008. I will.

now off to watch ‘PI’ with fellow classmatians
