Throughout the class lectures from this semester, I learned a lot about p5.js and wearable technology and the capabilities of both. In this project, I was able to combine my knowledge of these two forms of user interaction and sound feedback to create my final p5.js design along with it’s Makey-Makey wearable prototype, which were both inspired by the Infinity Gauntlet. The final p5.js design uses user interaction to respond in two different ways; vibrant colours that correspond to 5 of the Infinity Stones, and scaling of the stone that responds to the amplitude of sound. I was inspired by HYBE Studio’s Iris which used the scale of the circles to create an almost life-like visual experience for the user, as well as UVA’s Volume, which used colour as the focal point of their design and ultimately immersing the users. I was also inspired for my Makey-Makey glove prototype by Imogen Heap’s MiMU Gloves that allow artists to more humanly engage with their computer software and technology in order to compose music that is a direct expression of themselves.

Final Project 3 Design
For my final p5.js design along with it’s Makey-Makey wearable prototype, which were both inspired by the Infinity Gauntlet, I created a interactive experience that allows wearable technology to provide visual and responsive feedback, all through the use of touch. The p5.js design contains vibrant colours, constant rotation and scaling responsiveness that all provide the user with a lively visual experience. This design works in combination with a Makey-Makey glove prototype that allows the user to interact with the p5.js interface through the use of touch and self expression. These two elements together, result in seamless feedback and a visual experience for the user that is caused by simple interaction.
