002: Two Gesture Tools
(skip to taeyoon's homework)
This first tool allows you to create a rotating nebula. From the source files, you can also control the panning and speed of sound. Color of particle is dependent on its x and y coordinates. You can see from the compressed video that there is another perspective of the drawing tool being used. Keypress allows you to see your composition from the eye (interior) of the nebula.
source code
In the below instance, ofGetElapsedTimeMillis() is its best friend. Saturation, size, and color are either dependent on mouseX,mouseY OR how much time has passed since the first mousePressed. We have a spectrum of lines. It's not the most original idea but it was a simple transitioning composition.

c) take some time and think about what kinds of information you can capture in a gesture. For example, thinking on paper, draw five different lines all the same length. what are the properties of the gesture that are interesting and which make each one unique. Think specifically about the mathmatical properties (ie, things a computer / math can sense) as opposed to more interpretive qualities. For example, the compactness of a gesture, the velocity of a gesture, the variety of curvature, etc. Please make as detailed a list as possible of what you think is possible to perceive. Please consider statistics as well. For this work, create a listing (complete with illustrations if they are helpful) of as many possible metrics you think will be worth investigating.
