Transformation Project: Final


Transformation Project: Developing Interaction

My first Transformation had the sound of nails running over wood, but that didn't connect with the drawing, so I changed it to a sound that was more like fizzling.

Here's the link to the developing Transformation:

Transformation Project: Developing


The drawing above of the hairy trail made by the mouse combines the movement of the snake with with the glow of the lines, and the fade of the smoke. Instead of playing with preset images, you can now make the images.

Transformation Project: Interim Presentation


When you click the lightning, it would flash a different colour and the sound of thunder would play, and then fade.

When you float the mouse over the eyes, they would blink and a chime would play.

When you float over the smoke it would become more opaque, and start moving, and the sound of wind would play, and after you've taken the mouse off, the wind sound would fade and the smoke would become transparent again.

The lines react to the floating mouse by becoming wider, changing colour and sounding out a chord.

Transformation Project: Thumbnail sketches


Testing out ideas.

Transformation Project: Doodles


In the top left hand corner, the idea was that there would be a ball that the mouse holds, and you could drop the ball with a click, and it would pop and dissapear, and then a new ball would appear on the mouse. The spikes would all be of similar colour, but with varying tones. The aural tone of the ball popping corresponds with the visual tone of the spikes. And so the darker the tone, the lower the sound. Also the higher the ball is dropped the louder the "pop".

The snake, which was inspired by the ring, would follow the mouse, and if it eats the mouse there would be a biting sound.

In the rectangle under the spike and ball idea, the balls hanging of the lines have adjustable lengths, and the longer the line the higher the chime would be. Balls hitting each other would make a soft squelching sound, while balls hitting the lines would make a sharper sound.

In the top right hand corner, the drawing with the arrows show how the mouse can drag a stretchy image, which either bounces back or slowly reforms depending on how quickly you stretch it. Also there would be the sound of rubber stretching.
