Bauhaus Manifest

Proprietary software written in Processing.

Status

Current version runs fine in Processing. The real-life application test is missing and can only be conducted in mid/end February 2019.

Controls

• Control options can be found on the left side in the panel.
• 'Play' pause/unpause the animations. This freezes for real the demos but not the video (for now). Basically stops the redraw.
• 'Offline' start/stop sending messages over artnet.
• 'Rotate' the 3D manifest object
• 'Draw' draw/not draw the 3d object on screen
• 'Invert' invert brightness to create a negative image
• 'Save' when you press the "s" key on your keyboard
• 'Sliderbrightness' controls the general brightness of the objects and all demos + LEDs
• 'Rotationspeed' sets the speed of the object when it rotates (for show off purposes)
• 'Slideroptions' + 'Slideroptions2' are used in various demos to control different parameters such as speed, thickness etc.

Demos

• Demo 0: ("Video loop") Loads a video of the size 720x300 pixels
• Demo 1: ("Atmen") An implementation of the "Apple Breathing LED"
• Demo 2: ("Lichtstreifen") An adjustable light stripe wanders horizontally over the screen
• Demo 3: ("Hochwandern") An adjustable light stripe wanders vertically over the screen
• Demo 4: ("Soundreaktiv") Maps microphone input to brightness levels
• Demo 5: ("Perlin") Perlin Noise 3D. Slideroptions: Octave control from 0 – 8 / Slideroptions2: Falloff 0f – 1f
• Demo 6: ("Flocking") Flocking demo by D. Shiffman
• Demo 7: ("Ping pong") It's a ping pong demo?
• Demo 8: ("H. Wellen") Horizontal spatial movement
• Demo 9: ("V. Wellen") Vertical spatial movement
• Demo 10: ("Aufwaerts") Vertical spatial movement, but different.
• Demo 11: ("Statische Bilder") Loads the static images from the image folder

Dependencies

• Artnet4j 0.4.0
• Processing Video 1.0.1+
• Controlp5 2.2.6
• PeasyCam 3.0.2
• Processing Sound 1.0.1+
• UDP

Input

• Input has to be a H.264 conform "baseline" profile encode video, so it can run both on OSX and Linux machines.
• Images can be dropped into the data/img folder

An input movie is mapped to a rotatable 3D digital representation of the installation while over artnet 540 stripes (each equipped with 40 LEDs) from SchnickSchnackSystems receive the same signals and display it on the real thing.
