I had a hard time to come up with an idea and a scope for the final project. I know that I want to incorporate data visualization in the project, and I want audience to be able to manipulate the visuals. However, I'm not sure what the theme and context will be. I started researching and looking through previous students' work.
I started asking myself a lot of questions in order to sort of my thoughts on the project:
Who is the audience?
How do I want audience to experience/see/interact?
Whose data should I analyze?
What data can I get access to and I can analyze?
Is it something personal, emotional, or political...?
Does it have a meaning/use, or is it just for fun?
After trying to answer those questions for two days, I finally landed on a direction for this project.
I want to make an interface that translate mood into watercolor graphics.
Audience will speak to the interface about their mood of the day or their mood in general. Then, the interface will produce a graphic at the end. Warm colors are for positive words, and cool colors are for negative words. The loudness level reflect either shapes or size or movement of the graphic.
A list of things I need to figure out:
Translate speech to text (https://idmnyu.github.io/p5.js-speech/, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_bXBcmfTJM&ab_channel=TheCodingTrain )
Conduct text analysis (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV1JmMYceJw&ab_channel=TheCodingTrain)
Assign colors to positive words and negative words
❓how do I assign different colors for positive/negative works and less positive/negative words? based on scores?
Assign loudness to different shapes in the graphs
❓how to get the loudness volume
