The Grid

Here Willeke and Annika with a resumé on stage on. 1 for the first prototype. Whats going on and what will happen the upcoming month. Amazing – we are super glad and look forward to collaborate with kick-ass artists! <3

We are getting there! Fine tuning and little adjustments but the results are super great! :D Annika just mentioned today how amazing it is that a designer and an engineer no clue of nothing could create this is less that 4 month. With limited access to OptiTrack and and just doing that project on the side since both of us work or study full-time...we are really satisfied by the results. Because we embrace failure, listen to each other and work really effective together. Amazing time so far! <3 

We are figuring out how to sync performances. It is easier if one is the DJ but if you need many players in a performance this is a new challenge. Stay tuned Willeke and me are working on it! :D

The end of a long day! We have been adjusting the code the whole day and am evaluating some of our functions.Tired but happy! 

In the making – Willeke and me are calibrating the system today. Crazy to imagine that just some lines of code can create interactive sound. We are still amazed!! :) 

To write the code was one thing, now Willeke and me are adjusting the system with OptiTrack. Exciting :) 

Willeke and me are super amazed by the first results! Feels like we just scratched the surface and there is sooooo much potential. And yes – we are a bit excited about the upcoming month. :D 

Update from out interactive sound system! 🎉🚀 Trying out some functions now! #hellyeah #optitrack #unity3d #abletonlive #girlscoding #designisawesome

After exciting last hours and a sleepless night we are back on track! #motiontracking #unity3d #abeltonlive #girlscoding #interactivesound #performance #letsdothis

This is the day! 🎉🚀 The code is up and running, motion is tracked by OptiTrack and we gonna do some interactive sound performance. 😬👌#hellyeah #motioncapture #interactivesound #performance #girlscoding #soundengineering #optitrack #unity3d

Excited about the velocity, great feature to rise the volume while one is performing. Performing slow and low volume or dancing fast with high beat supporting your performance! Finding: dance performances and sound design should become a better experience! 🎉 #i teraction #design #sound #motioncapture #optitrack #designisfun

Today is the day! Big set up tracking me with 20 cameras! This is freaking awesome!!! 😁🚀🚀Interactive live performance and body as an instrument 🎉🎉🎉 #motioncaptur #sounddesign #designisfun #optitrack #unity3d #girlscoding #sound #movement #performance #dancing #umeå #sliperiet

I fancied it!😁🚀 Awesome what you can do with Playdough, GarageBand and the Makey Makey! Now trying to get even more inputs working 🎉🤓 #plugandplay #tw #playdough #makeymakey #garageband #sounddesign #designisfun

Collecting data was never more fun! Testing OptiTrack and Unity for the first time! #unity3d #firsttest #soundengineering #sounddesigner #interactivedesign #motiontracking #tw #motioncapture #dancing

Pure excitement today testing the OptiTrack! Awesome!!! 😁✌🏻️#motioncapture #tw #motiontracking #sounddesign Feeling like a motion ninja! #hejholetsgo #letsdothis

First try of OptiTrack! Amazed by the opportunities – let’s see where this is leading us!
