* Motivation
I was intrigued by the Rorschach test, where people are shown ink blots and they have to say the first thing that comes to mind when they see it. This led me to think about how we tend to categorize things and sometimes we see images that are not really there. I wanted to explore this cognitive function by creating a project that would do just that- create ink blots that could look like the viewersomething recognizable.
* Interactive Paradigm
The viewer will be is shown random inkblots ink blots on the screen. When the user is visible on the screenThese ink blots collide and separate, which may cause the inkblots will start viewer to form a silhouette of see images when looking at the sketch. If the viewerstays very still, the ink blots freeze. I want to see how long it takes If the viewer to recognize him or herselfmoves around, by creating this ambiguity about the ink blotsbegin to move faster. Are Also, if the viewer moves even faster, the color of the ink blots just random or is there and the background color are inverted. Finally, the image on the screen can be saved at any time by a picture the viewer is supposed to see?mouse click.
* Technical Description
The inkblots ink blots are created through Processing. The viewer-computer interaction is made possible through the use of the webcam.
