Project Demonstration

Since my last update, we have made many improvements. 
The link above is an example of how users will interact with our project. We did many user testings and found that when the germs attach onto people, their first reaction is to try to brush it off as they get an uneasy feeling. The more they get used to it, users will start to play with it. Our main target audience would most likely for kids and educational purposes to raise awareness that even though you cannot see germs with the naked eye, they still exist. 

With Nuisance, we had to go through the labs taught in class, as well as Cycling 74 websites for Max Msp help. We played around with blob tracking using centroids and collision detection. We were thinking of incorporating color change and maybe sound, but with the given time we had, we were not capable of doing so.

We had several research precedents, one of which was the insect project shown in class:
We looked at the inter-subjectivity between the objects and how users understand and interpret their relationship, as well as what aspects engages the two.

We also looked at the FIAT Interactive Installation:
With this project, we looked into how people communicate with objects on the screen, the gestures they use, and how they would react with it.
