Development tested and re-tested with further explanations on why this project was made found on my blog

Within this project, we had to create a interactive piece while using the programming language Processing. Below you will see my piece within the unit, and what I had created was a awareness of social media and how it is so obtainable to access your information online without having any connections what so ever. 

 

This interactive project I created was mixed with the Panoptican Theory showing how surveilance is done from one direction but cannot be seen from the opposite direction. Therefore I made a piece where the user is not aware that something is happening in the background once there head is turned to the side. This was to augment the realisation of how other users are viewing there profile without the individual knowing.

 

Below are stages of my progress on how I accumalated the results.

This is the hand I created to represent social media being able to stalk and have access to all your online information with it appearing behind the victims head. This is to show that the user is unaware of whats happening while the hand represents another person in another location accessing there visual information online.

Obtaining the camera functions and making sure it works correctly to side face recognition only from left ear and right ear.

 

Through the stages you can see I am experimenting and applying the image slowly while simutaneously trying to see what is effective and needs scrapping.

Filling in the Square then moving to see if I can apply the image 

Here you can see I was having trouble with applying the image as a white background kept on appearing but eventually after different file format testing I was able to make it transparent and only to enable the hand to be seen.

Below is the user testing I managed to get help with from my coursemates, seeing what is working and what isnt and how effective it has become.

 

 

This video shows the room in which I will display my work, taking notes where most people walk to make sure my interactive piece works professionally while considering objects and the enviroment simultaneously to help me find the right place to put a camera allowing my piece to work as effeciently.

Here i was able to see how the testing of the actual interactive piece worked, eventhough its not very clear you will be able to see on the screen that the image does appear to stalk the person walking past bringing in the awareness of social media.
