Bill Verplank's IxD Framework (Link)

Based on my last post's interactive concept of a room's music and visuals controlled by a single user, I have rethought that idea within this framework.

Idea: Motion sensor and type of music affects lasers, interface controls music

Metaphor: Motion affects atmosphere

Display: Room, foggy with light set up

Error: Light in room is too dim to detect motion

Scenario: In size of room (at-home or in larger venue space)

Task: Controlling music and lights

Control: Screen interface, Motion sensor

Composing a demo with Ableton Live

With being already unfamiliar with Ableton Live and in general creating music - I had to experiment a lot with timing and types of sounds. I watched several YouTube tutorials on creating Techno-oriented songs.

Interaction: User raises arms, two synths start.

Response: Synths play


Interaction: Move right arm

Response: BPM of track changes

Response: Synths play
