For the final project, I made an interactive map that I wish to deliver some message. Click to add people on the map, keep on adding as it represents human population on the Earth.

My final project is little different from the proposal, because the original idea, which was to indicate temperature rise and deforestation, did not have clear message compared to what it actually shows. So I rather made a simple interactive map that shows what is happening as we grow on the Earth.

Relevant to my project, which is to visualize the climate change on a world map, I find this visualization of temperature rise from 1880 to 2018 by NASA Global Climate Change very helpful. The idea is very similar in a sense that I am also considering to use color change to show the change.

https://climate.nasa.gov/climate_resources/139/graphic-global-warming-from-1880-to-2018/

Another information visualization that shows the global forest loss with Global Forest Watch is similar to my final project.

“With Global Forest Watch, you can see where forest loss is most pervasive, threatening indigenous lands, or reducing biodiversity, so we can act quickly when deforestation happens where it shouldn’t.”

https://www.globalforestwatch.org/

Two projects both used different methods to express the change, and with more brainstorming, it is possible to find another way to express the change happening over time.

For the final project, we want to create an information visualization map of the world that represents climate crisis by emphasizing either the rise of temperature around the world due to global warming, or the amount of electricity used around the world. To further elaborate on one of the idea we have proposed, the map could possibly show the amount of light (or even how big the city is) of each places. For instance, places like United States will be much brighter with more use of lights compared to third world countries. In the United States, depending on how many parts we divide it into, bigger cities like New York city or Los Angeles will light up much brighter than Wyoming. Moreover, the world map that displays the gradual increase of temperature on Earth may also be very attractive potential topic. We believe the matter of issue on global warming may be effective in order to visualize information because it is our reality that the Earth’s temperature is constantly increasing.

I will be collaborating with Jenny Lee on the final project, ylee1@andrew.cmu.edu Section C

Jenny will be responsible for coding to design the illustrative aspects of the map and Minjae will be responsible for coding the interactive aspect (of lighting up certain areas, for instance). We will both help each other to create this map art and fairly divide the work together.

For this project, I wanted to create a project that displays cars and the surroundings, which are sky, trees, road, and a sun. It was more challenging than my expectation but will be fun and useful once I absorb it.

While browsing through the provided list of women practitioners, I found Heather Kelley and her game “Superhypercube” very interesting. Superhypercube is a “first person puzzler” on PlaystationVR.

“To play, you control a group of cubes, rotating it to fit through a hole in a series of floating walls that are constantly moving toward you. Each time you fit through another wall without crashing, more cubes are added to your cluster. Head tracking is critical in the game – as your cluster of cubes gets bigger, you will need to lean around it to see the hole and quickly determine what rotations to make. Stay alive as long as possible, and add your high scores to the ranks of players around the world!”

What I find interesting about this game is that while I am still not familiar with VR games, this game is a seemingly simple educational puzzle game but playing it in VR actually makes it more fun, which is very important aspect in games.

Heather Kelley is a co-founder of Kokoromi, an experimental game collective, with whom she has produced and curated GAMMA event, promoting experimental games as a creative expression in a social context.

For this project, I wanted to create a very simple version of “launchpad.” The four sounds are some of the most common sounds used in beat-making.

Each button plays different sounds:

Yellow – 808 Bass

Red- Bass

Blue – Snare

Green – Hi-hat

For this week’s looking outwards, I found a Tedx talk by Ge Wang, who makes computer music. He uses a programming language called “Chuck,” and what surprised me the most in the beginning of his lecture was that I expected the software to be something similar to Logic X pro and Qbase which are professional producing softwares, but he was literally “coding”
to generate a sound. Although the basic demonstration was very simple but with the use of technology, Stanford laptop orchestra performs a piece of music with each laptop as an instrument. One of the most attractive thing about computational music to me is the ability to generate any sound, and with such ability, computational music can really create any music or sound that the “composer” wants to express.

For this project, I used a photo of my roommate. One issue I could not solve was to adjust the size of the picture according to the canvas size, which is currently 3024 x 4032. Because of it, I do not think canvas is showing the whole image properly, which is why there are so many browns on canvas.

For this looking outwards post, I found Jenny Lee’s post on “eCLOUD”, created by artist Aaron Koblin. I think this interactive installation is interesting in a way that it replicates the shape and volume of a cloud real time. I agree with Jenny’s assessment on the cloud that the installation gives the audience chance to feel the different weather from different locations. I personally like this project more because it is installed at San Jose international airport, which makes the audience more relative to the project since they are in weather-sensitive situation. I also think this project has major potential in expanding the installation, by implementing weather elements that are important to travelers, like precipitation and wind.
