Ready, Set, GO! FYP TOO! (2)

This is the first post for FYP TOO! FYP 2!

Let me reintroduce myself again.

The first thing that need to do is to get our Floorplan, Flowchart, and Storyboard done.

3 pieces of paper submitted to Mr.Kok Yoong, and I only got the my floorplan and flowchart digital file with me. Storyboard I only sketch on paper.

Overall, I'm going to exhibit my work in a huge place if it is available but at least, 20 feet by 20 feet floor spaces. Before I continue, my work is called Music Space where it is more to experimental music in Ubiquitous Computing environment.

Next, there will be four 3feet by 3feet boxes placed in that space facing each other. Each box will represent by different kind of "INSTRUMENT".

After doing research through the net and did some discussion with Mr.Kok Yoong, some method already been decided to use in the project.

Tools & Software (or Method)

Circuit Bending is one of the method that will use in my project. Circuit Bending is something like Mr.Lee Kwang did during our Sound Workshop. For more information, can logon to his website or even search his name in youtube and there will be an answer.

Zone Trigger will be used as well to create the transparent instrument on the box. This is where the user waves their hand through the box, it will produce sound.

Kinect will be considered too since it has the very sensitive motion detection. Where for Kinect, it will use as a transparent Piano. Kinect uses infrared to detect human body and that's why it is very sensitive.
