Approach
During the beginning of the week I handed over my projection mapping space to the game testing event. Due to this event I had to move my projector, cube, and markers on the ground. This might have sounded like a nightmare to put back together, but ended up becoming helpful in the long run. Resetting my projection mapping setup allowed me to move the box and projector to a better location for an audience's viewing for Thursday. While my space was occupied I continued to find other examples of simple projection mapping. I also started to look into how I can integrate audio into my work. Throughout the week I have been looking for a short 2 - 3 minute long song as a base for my next project. I have found the audio used in most projection mapping shows utilizes a contrast in rhythm, pitch, and tone. This is because a more dynamic sound tends to lend to dynamic visuals.
During the presentation on Thursday I noticed some interesting things. First, I noticed when the projections started people would audibly react. Second, I noticed people would start touching the box or the projected light. I myself had this same wonder and amazement when the box would shift colors and textures in the beginning. I’m not sure what to do with this information, but I thought these observations were interesting. Maybe in the future I could incorporate this impuls of touch with projection mapping in some sort of touch sensory experience.
Relevant Sources and Research
I have continued to look at Disney park projection mapping, firework, laser, and water shows for audio inspiration to do projection mapping with. I have been looking for a dynamic song with layers and a range in tempos.I have accumulated a list of possible songs, this is the top three from the list of possible songs:
