MAT 251 - FINAL PROJECT:
Digital Canvas: Mapping People and Movement in Spaces
By: Paul Denni

Project Description:
A mapping and archiving of people in spaces. A digital environment in which the user's motions, intentional or not, are captured and saved as a unique digital "painting". The purpose of this project is to use the camera tracking capabilities of Macromedia Director to simply map and archive people and their movements in space. The program runs and restarts itself every several minutes, at which time a screenshot is taken of the stage, and saved to disc. This archiving process will be usefull in extending this project, or as a starting point for a new project in Director.

Project Photos/Screen Captures:

  • map1.jpg - screenshot of the stage before the program restarts itself
