Tree ring is one of the projects I did in Deeplocal. I am the main creative technologist for this project.

Work scope

1. The main software in touch designer.
2. Develop a custom algorithm in python to turn a lidar sensor into a HID mouse simulator. This algorithm denoises the original lidar data, classifies it into different blobs, generates UUID for each blob, manages the lifecycle of each blob, eventually turns the blobs into mousedown and mouseup events. Develop a custom module to turn a Hokuyo sensor into a HID mouse. We can transform a 10x10 ft wall into a multi-touch interactive device.
3. A Tree Ring shader that would react to multi-touch. Everytime a user touched one of the dots on the tree ring, the tree ring would expand like a blister and then show Google’s story.

Tech Stack

1. Python, GLSL, Touch Designer
2. Hokuyo Sensor
