Hi-Light

Hi-Light is crafted to elevate the experience for both artists and viewers during live events, fostering a more personalised and meaningful engagement. Our design seamlessly integrates sound, light, and motion as primary interaction elements, utilising TouchDesigner as the key software. The prototype we've developed allows individuals to draw on surfaces using a light source during live events, with the added capability of modifying the action through sound input. The fundamental objective of this project is to delve into the realms of real-life data experimentation and interactive design. By merging the tactile and sensory aspects of light and sound, Hi-Light aims to create a dynamic and immersive experience that transcends traditional boundaries, encouraging a novel and enriched connection between the audience, artists, and the live event environment.

Process

This project served as my introduction to TouchDesigner and interactive computation, presenting several technical hurdles along the way. The goal was to augment the experience of live events by adding interactivity, which required bridging the gap between concept and execution. Through numerous experiments with audio feedback loops and lighting, we arrived at the final execution. Throughout this process, deliberate design decisions were made to ensure the aesthetic coherence of the end result. To gain a better understanding of the process please Check this video.
