Program:
14/May/2018, 9-16h: Introduction to openFrameworks; Animation; Interaction; Forces
15/May/2018, 9-16h: Particle systems; Autonomous agents; Physics libraries; Audio
16/May/2018, 9-16h: Audio-visuals; Project development
17/May/2018, 9-16h: Project development
18/May/2018, 9-16h: Project development and presentation

The course is focused on the generative aspects of media design and coding, interaction design and the control of media elements in interactive projects. Students will experiment with a broad range of media elements with an emphasis on controlling media behavior through code. Special emphasis will be given to crossings between sound and image: sound visualisation; sonification; audiovisual composition; visual music; etc. Course code is available at https://github.com/aalto-mediacode Continue reading →

The course focuses on exploring multitouch interaction to create engaging experiences with digital media. Multiple devices will be used, with an emphasis on mobile phones/tablets and the iOS platform. Other devices and platforms will also be discussed.

The main development environment for the course will consist of openFrameworks (oF) with Xcode. Students should have previously attended the Software Studies for Media Designers course, or demonstrate having acquired equivalent skills. Students are required to plan, develop, document and present a project at the end of the course. Continue reading →

openFrameworks iOS audioInput example, microphone

Posted on November 30, 2017 by Nuno Correia

In openFrameworks iOS 0.9.8, the audioInput example doesn’t seem to run. I found this solution:

“The audioinput example in the 9.0 release compiles and runs, and can play sound, but doesn’t receive any audio input. I removed the ofSoundPlayer, and now the audio input does work. so I guess there’s a conflict between ofSoundStream and ofSoundPlayer”

Also, it might be needed to add a Privacy – Microfone item to the plist, and write a message there (can be a simple “Yes”), see image below.

ofPixels, camera usage

Posted on April 12, 2017 by Nuno Correia

The technique for reading data from images has changed in openFrameworks, and the included examples have not yet caught up with this (as of v.0.9.8). With the help of Alex van Giersbergen and Sourya Sen, we’ve prepared an example to illustrate this, which can be dowloaded here:
pixelsTest

Sourya also recommends this related blog post: https://processing.org/tutorials/pixels/

To use the camera (for example to run the ImagePicker or VideoGrabber examples) you will need to update the ofxiOS-Info.plist by right-clicking in an empty area, add lines and then pick Privacy-Camera… and/or Privacy – Photo Library… and add any text there (thanks Gurden Batra).
