Production Process
After creating a digital prototype last week, I began to work on the actual website this week. My goal was to create a responsive website that receives text input and sends it to TouchDesigner. (Link to the website: https://ai-imaginaries.glitch.me/)
During this process, I faced a challenge regarding the data communication between the website and TouchDesigner. Currently, I wrote a program to collect all input data into one JSON object and send them altogether to TouchDesigner to prevent data loss. However, when I tried sending data from different devices, browsers, or even tabs, the current program doesn’t combine them all but instead creates each JSON object for each website visit. With that being the case, my plan for next week is to debug this issue, or, if I couldn’t make it work, look for other solutions to avoid this problem (such as using only one device for receiving data at the installation space).
Ideas for the installation space (IDM phone booth): 1) text-based visualization projected to the wall 2) AI-generated visualization from data input projected to the ceiling
