Today we have started on the nuanced control. We made one sketch where we enlarge a circle by blowing (like a balloon) and when you stop blowing, the balloon reduces in size.
Sketch 1 – Balloon
With the first sketch, we wanted to control the input for the balloon, so it only increases when blowing. We managed to get decent control over that by picking out the bins between frequency 110-120.
Sketch 2 – Ballon
We wanted to add resistance for the next iteration when you blow up the balloon and make the balloon deflate when you stop blowing. We decided to use background noise for the input for the resistance, which would give the balloon different behavior depending on the environment it is in. It provides the environment with an impact on the interaction with the ballon, and you need to adjust how hard you blow based on how noisy the environment is to blow up the ballon now.
Sketch 3 – Ball
Building on the feeling of resistance and the object having different sizes, we wanted to work with how it would feel to move a thing that changes its size and the resistance in a nuanced way. Therefore, we have started on a new sketch where you will be able to move a ball that changes its size, which affects the amount of effort it takes to move it. We have just started with this sketch and will continue on Thursday.
