REAL-TIME DATA + SIMULATION
Hi-light is designed to enhance the experience of the artists and the viewer during live events, allowing for a more personalised and meaningful engagement during occasions like these.Incorporating sound, light and motion as our main source of interaction and touchdesigner as our main software, we designed a prototype for people to be able to draw on surfaces with a source of light during live events and for it to be able to modify the action with a sound input.
The essential aim of this project is to experiment with real life data as well interactive design.
Findings & Insights
Through multiple discussions and learning about the various topics from the brief, the three of us decided that we were interested in real-life dataand interactive design.
With this in mind, we built on the idea of motion and its interaction with screens, while also
connecting it to the concept of mental health and the importance of taking breaks.
As the week progressed and we experimented with touchdesigner, we realised that our concept was not
corresponding with our outcomes and was somewhat hypocritical because our entire idea was to create an
environment where people could take a break from screens and work, but in the end our outcome was
projected on a screen and people were asked to interact with the screen itself.
Starting from
scratch,we approached our project with a slightly different goal in mind; rather than forcing a concept,
we viewed it as a prototype for large-scale production. Treating our project as a product simplified our
process in terms of conceptualization, design
decisions,and production.
