Great new blog post up on Labs:
In this installation, Newton’s laws of motion, which we find in our day-to-day lives, are simulated to recreate various elastic strings from a set of particles or nodes. The strings act independently from each other, and are triggered either by the hand gestures of each participant or by real-time audio analysis.
To make Resortes interactive, we placed two Leap Motion Controllers at either side of the projection. Each sensor had a different effect on the musical composition. At the same time, the viewer’s hand movements can alter the physics of the chords – analogous to manipulating elastic strings with your bare hands. When the two Leap Motion Controllers work simultaneously, the visuals and sounds generated from each sensor are combined into a single composition.
