We created the application for this dual stacked monitor installation. The timeline portion needed to be able to handle thousands of story thumbnails, requiring us to find an efficient way to pre-load and unload stories as the user scrolled through the timeline.The most challenging (and engaging) part of this project was in creating a realistic looking cloth banner. These banners needed to appear to be hanging along the top, subtly moving in the ‘wind’. It took many iterations to dial in the best combination of stiffness, wind vectors, and gravity before achieving the desired effect. Technologies:
- C++
- Cinder
