Project Update

I have come close to the completion of my visual look so far. I may want to put in additional items later. I am going work more on the sound aspects this week. First, I want to produce a noise from a sound file every time I move the Fiducial but I seem to be having trouble with creating the proper string. After that's complete, I want to create a location based sound play where certain audio files play when the fiducial reaches different locations on the screen dependent upon the images i have imported. I you have any tips on how I would go about it, that would be great.

Artist Statement

With my current choice of a project idea, I aim to use my understanding of Star Wars as well as the knowledge given to me throughout the course thus far to create an interactive tour of the Star Wars Universe. The project will include images from Star Wars but will be made into an original design that will include gestalt principles. I also aim to combine specific Star Wars sounds with original sounds of my own to further add to the connectivity of the piece.

In a more detailed explanation, I am seeking to use motion tracking and positioning to bring on a variety of different images and sounds dealing with certain objects the tracker floats over. This kind of idea will give the user the impression that he is exploring a different world from his own. I hope to generate familiar sounds with that of originals sounds so that the user will always be surprised and curious to find out what's in store next.

Don't have a scanner at my house so this it the best way to display my Star Wars mind Map. I'm still developing it too. Whenever i get another idea for an addition, i add it on.
Will be working on the classic game map soon.

My top interests for my project

It seems that I will have the most success coming with these following project ideas:

1. Star Wars/Space age themed project- My first love is Star Wars so I know for sure i have a deep pool of knowledge to delve into regarding ideas for something like this. I was thinking about doing a position sensitive program that tracks the location a certain object to change sounds. Maybe by using a map with popular star wars planets, i could change the song/songs that the spaceship comes closest to create a tour-like project of the star wars universe.

2.Classical Video Game themed project- I love video games but working with modern game would be hard. By using a classical game feel, i would be able to use simple shapes to create maybe an interactive original game with original sounds. Maybe even a collection of popular classic games. 

In general i feel that i would like to theme my project to give it some sort of purpose/meaning instead of having just some random contraction. I feel as if i could brach off a themed idea rather than a random one. I wouldn't know where to go. 

Rethinking Strategy

I have made a mind map that I felt could help me come up with new ideas for my current project in development. However, I feel that I have hit a dead end in terms of creative content is concerned. I want to try and create an entirely new mind map for the creation of a better idea. I will be working on this until I feel that i have come up with a concept that I feel I can build off of. I have been working on my mind map today and seek to have a solid idea by the end of this weekend. I want to then start developing my patch.
