Cloud Piano by David Bowen

About the project:

This installation plays the keys of a piano based on the movements and shapes of the clouds. A camera pointed at the sky captures video of the clouds. Custom software uses the video of the clouds in real-time to articulate a robotic device that presses the corresponding keys on the piano. The system is set in motion to function as if the clouds are pressing the keys on the piano as they move across the sky and change shape. The resulting sound is generated from the unique key patterns created by ethereal forms that build, sweep, fluctuate and dissipate in the sky.

You can see more of the installation in this video:

I’ll first list two summaries of my observations — one on hierarchies, the other on term usage — then I’ll do a brief walk through on each company with screenshots.

My New Year’s Resolution for 2014 was to get more people started in User Experience (UX) Design. I posted one lesson every day in January, and thousands of people came to learn!

Below you will find links to all 31 daily lessons.

In the field of human-computer interaction, a “Wizard of Oz” experiment is a research experiment in which subjects interact with a computer system that they believe to be autonomous. See “The Mechanical Turk.”
