Week 5
Posted: 9 October 2011 Filed under: project 52 | Tags: processing, project52 Leave a commentSo I’m returning back to the weather for this week’s project and using the speed of the wind as reported via the Arch-OS feed (http://www.arch-os.com/livedata/). The value of the windspeed sensor controls the speed with which the rectangle revolves, much like a virtual wind vane.
Week 4
Posted: 2 October 2011 Filed under: project 52 | Tags: processing, project52 Leave a commentSo this week’s makes use of the Radio 1 Mini Mix podcast (http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio1/r1mix/rss.xml). It takes the first track and uses the beat to draw circles or squares. The colours and level of transparency are also determined by the beat. It takes a while to load so please be patient – you might also want to turn the volume down as it also plays the track 🙂
Week 3

A word is randomly selected from the first poem and in turn is interpreted using 10 photos from flickr. When viewed, try moving the mouse over the images.
Week 2

Week 1
Posted: 11 September 2011 Filed under: project 52 | Tags: processing, project52 Leave a commentAfter much consideration I decided to make the first visualisation of our national obsession – the weather. Using the BBC weather feed for Plymouth (http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/0013/Next3DaysRSS.xml), I’m taking the most up-to-date values to feed the sketch. Unfortunately during my testing I noticed the feed isn’t updated as often as I would have liked so it could be displaying the sun when it’s actually tipping down!
