Experiment 3



This is the experiment that I am going to further develope. It is a ball that can be moved around by the red ball (the mouse) and it is contantly changing the shape as you can see in the images. I think at this stage it is very basic and it has no element of illusion which is what im aiming for.

Experiment 2

     This interaction was hard to illistate with jus a still image but its a ball that you can fling in any direction you want and if u fling it hard enough it creats an illusion that there is two balls even tho its just the one ball.

Experiment 1




With this intraction inprired by angry birds I made it so the ball got flung and bounced off the "walls" of the screen and bounced back and the aim was to get it to hit the red bar. if u hit the red bar with the green ball then the ball would sink down into the ground and you would win.

inspirations


I have two completely differant inspiration images for two differant idea where one of them is to do with the interaction on how you fling an object. (the angry birds) insto something. the bottom image is focusing on the idea of illusion where you think you know what the interaction is but you get surprised by what you find.

Reflection.


I think I am happy with my end result as I got the effect and type of structure that I wanted in the end. I did find it hard to figure out how to get all the lines in the way I want them to go and it took me longer than expected to figure out how to make something for example (a = a +1) which will make something constantly grow stop at a certain point but with Stevens help I managed to figure it out. I think my 8 iterations clearly show structure in the sun and its light beams and in different ways and that (hopefully) it is obvious that it is the structure of the sun that I am exploring. If I were to expand on this project even more in the future I think that I would make more variations of a more abstract view and maybe start putting in the way light refracts and bounces off surfaces.

Final. 8 iterations















I choose to do the structure of  the sun and light beams from the sun. i progressed from just the beams too including a sun where the beams are coming off from.
