I’ve made a new prototype for the Design Research Playground. Ups and Downs is an audiovisual playground that combines two Shepard tones with two overlapping line generators.
You can shape the illusion of endlessly rising or falling pitch, and link the visual motion to either tone. Everyone visiting shares the same live controls, so you might find someone else is playing with it at the same time as you.
Tools, demos, experiments and things to twiddle with, an evolving archive of quick prototypes that all begin with a question.
Is it possible to make something with the core functionality of Photoshop that runs inside a terminal window? Sort of, yes.
A photograph of hand-drawn survey responses becomes an interactive atlas of AI experience, outlook and preferences.
