Electronic Collage
by Benjamin Duenas
The project of electronic collage was developed as a final project for the 5 week Experience Prototyping course at the Umeå Institute of Design at the Umeå University.
It is a one week project that took place at the end of the course, which objective was to be part of the Halloween Party. The course took that scenario as a real environment for the group projects.
Technology for tracking objects using a camera was the main exploration of this project, it includes the use of free ware software platforms, one used for the camera called “reactivision” combined with a programming environment called “Processing” to trigger the graphics and finally using a series of symbols called “fiducials” that can be attached to physical objects in order to be tracked.
A number of problems were faced during the development of the project, both technical, and with the coding, that are explained in the report. The result of the final installation was successful in terms of the interaction that created on the people that used it, but still are some points that can be further developed.
