Project Breakdown

The process behind the project including the programming application produced the visual synchronized with the music, UI interactive design, and 3D installation setup for the simulation video.

Programming Application

The overall visual output was programmed and developed using Unity 3D with particle component and many C# scripts generated users' emotional data and visualized an algorithm for audio visualization.

UI Interactive Design

The UI design is based on the 90s operating system interfaces combined with the Lo-fi themes to deliver the concept of the project. The interface design used the simple questionnaire layout which is intended to let users go through when interacting with the Installation to collect user responses. 

3D Installation Setup

The installation setup created in Cinema4D includes lights, a few assets based on the installation requirement, and multiple cameras set on the specific location in 3D space to capture different perspectives to showcase the overall experience.
