Project Soli

DR. IVAN POUPYREV created a data visualization of movements of the hand. I admire that it uses a radar to sense how the hand is moving, then translates that into colors and strokes on a page. It also allows the user to use gestures to play games. I think it has the opportunity to allow users to create their own art.

Dissonant Imagery

In 2018, Daito Manabe + Kamitani Lab created a visualization of imagery in the mind using  “brain decoding”. I admire that it focuses on the relationship of brain activity, visuals, and sound to predict the mental visuals that the user is thinking about. I think this has the opportunity to help people generate art covers for playlists of music, allowing them to identify the playlist by the image instead of a playlist name.
