Physical Computing: Getting Started (Part II)

Physical Computing: Getting Started (Part II)


What was my goal again? oh yeah...

The goal is to sync video, lights, and pre-recorded audio with a live performance... Well, that was the original idea. I'm traveling on my own path and my goals are shifting. I'm interested in Stop Motion Animation, Installation Art, Interactive Multimedia, Music Production, and Post Production for video. Technology now more accessible than ever, and I see it as an important component in my future. I have a DIY attitude, so I'm diving in... In addition to TouchDesigner, I'm learning about Physical Computing with hands on projects and exercises. I'll being writing code in python that will run in TouchDesigner, and code that will run on a Raspberry Pi to control electronic circuits that I will build.

It's time to Make Stuff!!!
