Final Interaction and Artist Statement

Artist Statement

For this project the main focus was on developing an interactive experience for the user, which included sufficient abstraction from the response of the user and mouse.

My application lets the users experience a 3D canvas that can create beautiful structures and then be reset with the click of a button. It lets the user experiment with different methods in order to create different images. when the mouse is moved along both the X and Y axis the shape is repeated leaving a trail. Not only does it do that the shape changes in length and width and also the shape its self is changed. This allow the images being made to be different every single time captivating the user and not getting bored of it once it has been used once. The user can also experience a throwing and momentum feel which creates a great conversation between the user and the computer. when the mouse is held down the shape stops repeating and the one shape remains. depending on how fast the user moves the mouse depends on how fast it spins. When the mouse is released the shape repeats it self again while it still spins for the momentum. This creates interesting shapes just from the throw of the object. To add on to the interaction aspect the structures change colour depending where the mouse is place.

The user can keep experimenting over and over until they are happy with the creation they have made and then they can make an entirely new one.
