snax_and_macs spaceFort was inspired by our curiosity of both outer-space and the mysterious deep sea. We wanted to share our curiosity with others by building an immersive interactive installation that was designed to replicate the exploration of an alien planet and alien and deep sea elements with responsive and generative projections and sounds.
snax_and_macs also wanted to break down the steps for creating an installation by having a variety of instructables corresponding to specific elements of the spaceFort. The different tutorials we created are:
openFrameworks + Capacitive Sensing + spacebrew
openFrameworks + motion sensor + Arduino + spacebrew
openFrameworks + phone accelerometer + spacebrew
openFrameworks + vibration sensors + Arduino + spacebrew
Check out our instructables profile for the tutorials.
spaceFort Technical Infrastructure
The code for our project can be found on github here. There are three OF sketches connected to different sensors which are a motion sensor, sound, and capacitive touch sensors. To use the OF sketches, you'll need to install the spacebrew libraries. To run the motion sensor sketch, you'll need to install the firmata library in Arduino, and to run the capSense sketches, you'll need to install the capSense library.
