## Module 3

### We have now reached the final project of this semester. I feel our projects have made significant strides throughout the term. In the previous project, I focused primarily on projection-related design, aiming to achieve a more three-dimensional visual effect. In the project before that, we established our main research direction. This semester's project further incorporated interactive features, allowing users to engage with our installation and alter the projected content. This also represents our attempt to integrate design with fine art within the project. In this endeavor, we not only explored the design of projection content and interactive installations but also developed websites to test whether we could achieve our envisioned presentation effects. Personally, this project has provided me with valuable insights into the design philosophy and mindset of installation art, while also offering us a precious opportunity to experience human-machine interaction.

## Project 3 Final Prototype

This is the final product from our third project. It detects people entering or exiting through two different sensors. Its triggering principle works like this: if the sequence triggered is 1-2, it counts as an entry; if the sequence is 2-1, it counts as an exit. As the number of people increases, the projected content changes accordingly. We chose a Christmas tree as the projection. Initially, the tree appears as scattered particles. As more people enter, the particle tree gradually coalesces. Once a certain threshold is reached, the tree precisely projects onto our prepared 3D paper model, achieving a fully dimensional effect. For this project, we primarily utilized software tools including Arduino, Touchdesigner, and Gemini to support our work.
