Touch Wall
Last day (and night) before show was crazy. I stared playing with possible interactions developing my application at the same time. After two days with Openframeworks I liked it very much. This very fast and robust C++ library can do things that Processing and Flash guys can only dream of. Above is final version of [...]
Crafting Interactive Spaces
Finally I’ve found some time to write about project did just before Christmas break during Crafting Intarctive Spaces course. This time we were supervised by Joshua Walton and James Tichenor from The Rockwell Group Lab. The course started by visiting SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. We visited this hotel to look for inspiration and places [...]
MoneyVis – visualizing private data
In the second week of our data visualization course we had to focus on one bigger project. Most people still worked with UNdata but I decided to choose a data set more important to me. Three years ago I started a small experiment. I keep track of all money I spend. I have one simple [...]
UNdata – visualizing public data
Finally! This is what I was waiting for so long, a data visualization course with Shawn Allen from Stamen. They are one of the most known design agencies specializing in data visualization in the world and I really love their works. The course started with quick introduction to ActionScript. I already knew it so I [...]
Interactive Bench
As our final project for Physical Computing course we (me, Sara and Jacob) decided to implement idea of interactive bench. The idea was to use light to encourage people to sit together and therefore initiate social interaction. Here is short video of our prototype in action. More about project at CIID page.
Computational Design final exhibition
On Friday at DKDS we had an exhibition of all our works completed during Computational Design course. Because of limited exhibition space I had to choose between two of my projects : interactive Wiild Life and Greet poster. There was already enough posters for the exhibition so I chose the interactive one. More photos on [...]
Computational Design course
Since last week we are learning (or refreshing already existing knowledge) about Processing. This open source software is very good to do some quick sketches of animations and interactive visualizations. During the course we are using Wii Remote as an input device. There will be two projects. The first one is about creating something interactive [...]
End of Year Exhibition
My multi-touch app called ‘Populus’ has been chosen for End of Year Exhibition at my Acedemy of Fine Arts. After weekend of hard work (i was sleeping 2-3h per day)… … everything was prepared to the final show. You can still visit this exhibition on Thursday and Friday, 10am – 6pm, at the main building [...]
More multitouch apps
Here is little glossy app browser, and finger pressure test. At the end of this video I’m pressing ‘exit button’ to go back to menu. To prevent closing app accidentally you have to keep this button pressed for a longer time and wait until button’s ring is filled. And here is experiment with flocking behavior. [...]
Multitouch – my first flash app
My first multitouch app Drum machine done in AS3/Flash9. For capturing multitouch events I’ve used touchlib.
Multitouch – first tests
Setup and infrared camera test. iTunes visualization projected on my 30 inch screen. Test of Piano app bundled with touchlib. Test of Smoke app bundled with touchlib.
(Multi)Touchscreen mania
After watching Jeff Han presentations and all the hype about iPhone I’ve caught this mania too. Actually I plan to build a multitouch screen for myself during next semester. It’s not that difficult. You need just a projector, a camera, couple of infrared LED’s and of course a little bit of programming But that is [...]
Playing with motion sensor in my MacBook Pro
Recently I’ve started playing with Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS) in my laptop. Here are the results: Because SMS works also in a MacBook, I’ve decided to build a toy using this technology.

Choose Your Fav Color [updated]
Wstępna implementacja założeń projektu Wybory 2007. Na razie dość uboga, ale wszystkie dane są zbierane więc nic nie stoi na przeszkodzie aby to rozwinąć. Pomysłów jest wiele. Ustawiłem link do tego bloga na gg. Jestem ciekaw ile osób wejdzie w ciągu tygodnia. Zapraszam : http://vorg.pl/projects/yourfavcolor [updated] Opis działania projektu: W momencie wejścia na stronę naszym [...]
Wybory 2007
Projekt / ćwiczenie na Pracownie działań interaktywnych. Tematyka wyborów, dowolnych, nie koniecznie politycznych. Mój pomysł Próba zmierzenia się z problemem nakłonienia widza, odwiedzającego stronę www do interakcji a następnie wizualizacja dokonanego przez niego i jego poprzedników wyborów. Ponieważ nie chce odwiedzających zarzucać “100 pytaniami do…” inne dane pozyskam bez potrzeby działania z ich strony. Dane, [...]
