Changes

*Due: Midterm project proposal.

**Working individually or in small groups (2-3 people), produce an interactive piece that bridges the gap between screen space and physical space. There are many ways to do this--using image-based computer vision techniques, game controllers, audio input, or other physical hardware (Arduino?). Think about the parameters of interaction--are you documenting viewer's behavior (unknown to them), are you taking a familiar form (such as a video game) and tweaking it in some way, are you intervening in social space? Think about what form the output will take. In your one page proposal, describe the input(s), output(s), and dynamic of interaction, as well as some statement of your motivation. Why is this a valuable or interesting project? In addition to the written description, produce supporting visual materials. These should be two functional diagram images and two visual/aesthetic images. The functional diagrams should show the necessary software and hardware components and explain how the interaction will occur. The aesthetic diagrams will give us a sense of what it will look like, how the output will appear. Make a page for your project (including a title) in the Midterm Projects section at the bottom of this page, upload the necessary materials and embed them in that page. This proposal is due in class next week where we will critique and workshop the ideas.

*NOTE: Best of ICAM from Candy Harris. There will be an install in the annex here at Mandeville and presentations at the Experimental Theater in the CPMC (music building). They should come see what they are going to have to live up to for their final projects. Plus the keynote speakers (ICAM alumns) always have great info about career paths after graduation.
