My Project
Interactive Dress
This project showcases an interactive dress that responds to external inputs, creating a seamless blend of digital artistry and wearable technology. Developed using TouchDesigner, the dress features real-time visual effects that dynamically shift based on user interaction. The integration of projection mapping enhances the immersive experience, transforming the garment into a living canvas.
The dress incorporates a gesture recognition system embedded in its side panels, which captures hand-waving motions to execute pre-programmed commands. These gestures trigger various effects displayed on an internal LED strip within the dress. Movements such as up, down, left, right, and varying proximity influence the visual output, creating a highly interactive and customizable experience.
By leveraging generative visuals and interactive design principles, the project explores the intersection of fashion, movement, and digital expression. The dress serves as both an artistic statement and an exploration of the potential for interactive textiles in performance, exhibition, and experiential design.
Gesture-Controlled Interactive Music System
This project explores the fusion of interactive media and sound design through Leap Motion and TouchDesigner. The system allows users to control music playback using hand gestures, enabling seamless interaction with digital soundscapes.
Users can switch songs, overlay two tracks, and adjust volume based on proximity, creating an intuitive and immersive audio experience. The integration of real-time visual effects further enhances engagement, making the interaction both tactile and visually dynamic.
Interactive Christmas Projection
This project blends experimental projection techniques with interactive design, creating a dynamic and immersive holiday experience. Developed using TouchDesigner and After Effects, the installation features a red heart that responds to real-time hand gestures captured by Leap Motion.
The installation utilizes three projectors for a multi-layered interactive experience. The left-side projector enables Leap Motion hand gesture control, allowing users to flip their palm to rotate the heart and move their hand to reposition it in space. The center projector displays animated visuals created in After Effects, adding depth and vibrancy to the scene. The right-side projector integrates an iPad drawing application, allowing participants to design their own decorations and see them projected onto the Christmas tree in real time.
The concept behind this work was to design an interactive and innovative Christmas tree that encourages playful engagement. By combining motion tracking, digital animation, and user-generated artwork, the project reimagines festive decorations through technology-driven interaction, offering a unique and memorable visual experience.
