Prototype 2: Interface Animation

This animated prototype shall complement my processing sketch and show the direction I would have taken eventually. Working with flash in the end allowed me to visualise my ideas more easily. I decided to use flash instead of modern tools like Adobe Edge Animate as the integration of sound works very solid in Flash.

My work was focused on designing the experience of becoming aware of yourself. But of course I was wondering what could happen to the SoundCircles once the user has defined those. In a quick video-draft I want to communicate how my SoundCircle concept might evolve into an ambient data guard which is embedded in our data driven life. 

In this scenario writing an online review may feel pink but low pitch.

But what happens if suddenly someone else defines these tags for you and throws them in your life?. What if your girlfriend doesn`t like your mother and suddenly calling her feels ugly green-high pitch and boring-pink vice versa?
Part of my prototype are little mini-souncircles which surround the big circle. These are emotions expressed by other people for this kind of data.

This prototype and the scenario were inspired by a visual research I did during
the summer months of Jul-Aug 2013.
