First solo art project proposal over + Plug and Play sensors
I just finished my first “solo interactive visualization art” project proposal. Other than just buzz words, the project is a social media aggregation visualization. The idea is that you can give it a key word(s) and it will search through various social media websites, gathering data that matches those words. It then displays a visualization of the data in a vertical scroller along with other vital information (poster’s display pic, location, etc). The project is aptly entitled “Whatcha Talkin ‘Bout Willis?” in a tribute to recently deceased Gary Coleman – one of my favorite actors growing up. I will create a page for the project and describe it in more detail with pretty pictures. Hopefully sooner rather than later…
But now that the art proposal is over and I have some free time opening up I decided I’m going to re evaluate the work I had done earlier in developing a plug and play sensor solution. A couple months ago I came across the IEEE 1451.4 documentation which outlines a standard for plug and play sensors. I plan on doing a full analysis of the standard figuring out the pros and cons and putting together a prototype. I plan on using a lot of my earlier work as a base and comparing my original ideas to those outlined in the spec and the costs and benefits of each. This will be my main focus for the next 2 months during my free time so you will be hearing a lot more about smart sensors in the next few posts
