Scent Dome

Scent and smells are ubiquitous, they are part of our everyday world. Yet, when you enter VR

worlds, you almost always lose your sense of smell.

Sight is covered, hearing is covered via speakers, even touch is covered via haptic gloves and other accessories.

Smell usually remains abandoned, lacking hardware to cover it.

So, as I decided to have about visualization and sensors together I have plan to use Scent Dome, Which can help me to let public experience also about smells of each seasons and they can feel it.

vvvv- A multipurpose toolkit

As I consulted with Mr. Kok Yoong on Thursday 12 August , Mr. Kok Yoong advised me to do my installation with vvvv toolkit software that one of our senior also worked with that.

vvvv is a graphical programming environment for easy prototyping and development. It is designed to facilitate the handling of large media environments with physical interfaces, real-time motion graphics, audio and video that can interact with many users simultaneously. Responsible for its development is the vvvv group.

vvvv is free for non-commercial use, but commercial use requires a license.

For a detailed overview of vvvvs features read the Propaganda or see some Screenshots of vvvv for a basic understanding of what you are dealing with here. People also seem to be interested in what the FAQ vvvv might mean.

Arduino

And also I will do my installation with Arduino sensor, which can help me to detect, and also Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. The microcontroller on the board is programmed using the Arduino Programming Language (based on Writing) and the Arduino development environment (based on Processing ). Arduino projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate with software on running on a computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP).The boards can be Built by hand or purchased preassembled; the software can be downloaded for free. The hardware reference designs (CAD files) are available under an open-source license; you are free to adapt them to your needs.

Getting Started with Arduino

Getting Started with Arduino, authored by Arduino co-founder Massimo Banzi, offers a brief, fun, and lucid overview of Arduino that will appeal to lots of people who’ve been wanting to get into physical computing and want a way in. This handy little guide should be just the ticket. To work with the introductory examples in this book, all you need is a USB Arduino, USB A-B cable, and an LED.

Programming Interactivity: A Designer’s Guide to Processing, Arduino, and Open frameworks

If you’re interested in using electronics and programming to create rich interactive experiences with your artwork, designs, or prototypes,Programming Interactivity is the place to start. You’ll explore common themes in interactive art and design, like 2D and 3D graphics, sound, physical interaction, computer vision, circuit bending, geo-location and more. This book explains programming and electrical engineering basics, and introduces three freely available tools created specifically for artists and designers.

Testing Software

In this video is showing how to do with the Arduino and from there you can see how the things will change.

This is one of the good examples that I would like to do for my installation and this guy showing how to mix the sound and I do have plan to do this one with visuals .

Tutorial 1 Starting vvvv

So, the other thing I have to do for my installation is about vvvv toolkit that showing the graphical programming.

This video is about the color noise that helping me to do with season's colors.

3D Audio Visualization

This video is showing 3D audio visualization that showing the visuals with colors and sound.

Playing on a light up floor

And the last video is showing something that I really want to do with four seasons with visuals and colors but instead on the tonel I have plan to do in square area which is not like this.

I hope now you know more what is my idea about my installation and I hope I delivered my message well.

Thank you for your time :)
