'''Motivation'''
We would like to work with an Arduino and integrate it with virtual image processing. Because photography and film are our main interests, we would like to figure out a way to manipulate the images on the computer screen through physical interaction with an arduino sensor. Our main goal will be to try to manipulate color, movement, and scale though an outside sensor.

We would like to create a digital canvas for graffiti creation. Because we are both interested in graphics and image manipulation, we would like to make a paint splatter program that can be manipulated by an outside catalyst. What interests us about this is that not everyone is endowed with tagging skills, so we would like this program to facilitate graffiti creation.

'''Interaction'''
We would like to incorporate either four or eight bi-flex sensors (http://www.imagesco.com/sensors/flex-sensor.html) to control a image on screen. We can insert these sensors into either one or two gloves, to create interaction. We would also like the images to be a sort of data flow. Hopefully, we will be able to cycle through data and/or pictures through means of the flex sensors, in order to move through a virtual space.

The interaction of this piece will function mainly with the computer's microphone and the mouse. The graffiti splatters will be sprayed across the canvas based on when the microphone is picking up a blowing sound. The placement of the splatters will be based upon the movement of the mouse. As the user blows harder, the density of the spray will increase.

Motivation We would like to create a digital canvas for graffiti creation. Because we are both interested in graphics and image manipulation, we would like to make a paint splatter program that can be manipulated by an outside catalyst. What interests us about this is that not everyone is endowed with tagging skills, so we would like this program to facilitate graffiti creation.

Interaction The interaction of this piece will function mainly with the computer's microphone and the mouse. The graffiti splatters will be sprayed across the canvas based on when the microphone is picking up a blowing sound. The placement of the splatters will be based upon the movement of the mouse. As the user blows harder, the density of the spray will increase.

Function We plan to combine a number of different styles of code to make our piece function. Draw and load image functions will allow us to load our own splatter designs into the program.
