Flourish In The Depths
We used the arduino to affect our data on touch designer. Our concept is to show how light affects the sea organism you see in terms of how it glows as well as using the potentiometer to affect how much it grows and morph. We were inspired by a sea star and thought how can we reimagine it reacting to our data? We then created a structure. The structure consist of a slider that will affect how much light will pass through. When more light enters the creature gets shy and glows less but when there is no light shining through it won’t glow. Next, we can affect how much the creature morphs through rotating the potentiometer.

"We designed a box with an adjustable light source, a sensor to detect brightness, and flaps to control light transparency. With an adjustable potentiometer and light sensor connected to the arduino to affect the visual"

"Navigating this project felt like venturing from shore into deep waters. We expected TouchDesigner to be as smooth as walking on warm sand, but instead, we faced waves of challenges, from connecting unfamiliar nodes to separating data from the light sensor and potentiometer"
