Third Experiment

Here are some infographics that can be related back to the Pachube concept!



This infograph represents the visual change of a various number of internet browsers since their beginnings up until now. As people continue to use internet browsers over the years, the browsers are modified and adapted to become cleaner and more modern. An idea here arises where a person within an architecture can see elements/shapes/spaces move around and/or manifest in front of them the longer they remain in that particular area. This could go hand in hand with lighting to make interesting spatial elements that could contrast one area of the interior with another.


This infograph represents the world population with the liquid inside the glass representing the population for a particular continent. The water dripping into the glass represents the number of births and the water dripping out represents the deaths. As the years go by, the number of births increase due to new technologies, better agriculture and research into medicine which overcomes/slows the death rate by a large amount (and thus increasing overall population). A Crysis concept relating to the pachube feed from this infograph can be seen as dimming/increasing lighting inside an architecture. The longer a person remains within a certain area, the longer the light will stay on once the person leaves. The average time that the person/s stays in a certain area could be recorded and be linked with a timer that is also linked with the brightness/material parameter of a light object.




This novel image shows a mug with a number of different shades of tea possible on the side. Matching up the colour of your tea to the shade is done by varying the amount of milk poured and mixed into the tea (which correlates to a specific type of tea eg "Milky", "Classic British"...). This image relates to 'concentration' in some ways. In Crysis I could modify the colour of a light depending on the concentration of people in a certain area. For instance, for a number of 1-3 people, the light remains white. But for 4-10 or so, the light will change to red, or blue, or some other colour.




Simple test of moving objects when player stands in a specific area/spot.
This is the flowgraph which controls the movement. It bugged up at the end of the video but theres not much I can do to rectify that...
The flowgraph is a little messy, I may have redundancies in there but I'm not too sure!
