==Beschreibung==

Wolltest du schon immer eine App für dein iPhone erstellen? Oder hast du eine tolle Idee für ein "''Creative Coding Experience''" auf deinem iPad? Hast du ein neues Android Tablett und möchtest etwas schickes damit machen? Das ist deine Chance!

Wir werden mit den neuesten cross-platform HTML5 Web-Technologien arbeiten (hauptsächlich mit der ECMA Scriptsprache, besser bekannt als JavaScript; inklusive CSS3), um Apps zu erstellen, die auf deinem internetfähigen mobilen Endgerät laufen.

Themen:
* siehe englische Auflistung

Dieser Kurs wird je nach Bedarf höchstwahrscheinlich auf Englisch abgehalten.

'''Hinweis:''' Wer mit mehreren Endgeräten und Web-Synchronisation arbeiten will, dem wird der gleichzeitige Besuch des Werk-/Fachmoduls von Kollege Gabriel Rausch empfohlen, das auch auf Serverseitige Programmierung eingeht. Aus zeitlichen Gründen können wir das in diesem Kurs nicht tun.

==English description==

Did you ever wish to design an app for your iPhone? Or do you have an idea for this nice creative coding experience on your iPad? Do you have a new Android Tablet and want to make something cool with it? This is your chance!

We will work with the latest cross-platform HTML5 web technologies (mainly the ECMA scripting language, better known as JavaScript; including CSS3) to create applications that will run on your mobile device.

Topics will be:
* Creative Coding on mobile devices
* Introduction to Programming
** Variables
** Functions / Methods
** Objects
** Events
** Best practices and Software Design Patterns (Accessors: Getters/Setters, Creating Objects, Modules…)
* ECMA Script (JavaScript)
* CSS3 (Design, Animation, Transition…)
* HTML5 (Multitouch, Geolocation, Device Orientation, Local Storage, Canvas, WebAudio, SVG...)
* Communication Protocols (JSON, AJAX with XMLHttpRequest), using the API of WebServices (Google, FlickR, Twitter, Yahoo Pipes, Facebook...)
* JavaScript Libraries (Processing.js, Paper.js, D3.js, jQuery Mobile and many more…)
* Webapps and Hybrid Apps (that's a webApp that is wrapped in a native application that you can download from an app store)

This course will most likely be held in English

==Requirements==
* Your own computer (Laptop) with a proper plain text code editor
* Your own mobile device that's capable of browsing the internet

GMU:Things that organize themselves/spatialize data

2013-11-04T11:24:38Z

J.koehler:

== Idea ==

My first thoughts on creating an interactive visualization of the German law system have been doomed to fail: the government sold the digital information about the development of law and the verdicts interpreting it to private companies. The only possibility to study this data is by reading it by hand.

Therefore I changed my plan. Instead of taking a big topic and creating a big data object out of it, I am thinking about creating a couple of smaller interactive sketches to different topics dealing with complexity and self organization. Possible topics: wind & weather data, oceanic data, astronomical data, data about human behavior (garbage, carbon-dioxide etc.).

As a final result i would like to have a room with some displays showing those animated sketches together with an object spatializing this data.

For the spatializing I thought about an object which translates a one-dimensional data stream into a complex three-dimensional structure.

My first attempt for this would be the following:

GMU:Things that organize themselves/spatialize data

2013-11-04T09:28:02Z

J.koehler:

==Spatialize data==

I want to create an interactive and spatial experience, where the visitor comes into contact with abstract data.

To find new ways of representing data I chose five working paradigms:

* no classical display or projection technologies (beamer etc.)
* spatial extension
* dynamically animated
* reactive to the visitor
* organic in its design

My first thoughts how such an object could be realized have been about the material. At the moment I have two ideas:

=== Hoses ===

Take thin plastic hoses (the ones you use for water cooling), two Arduino controlled pumps, two reflux valves, an hose adapter and inked water.
Both pumps are connected to a reflux valve and afterwards joined together to one hose via the adapter. The pumps are controlled with the Arduino. The first pump sucks the inked water, the second one sucks air. Now by turning the pumps on in an alternating way, a one dimensional pattern will be created in the hose and move throughout it. If the hose is long enough you can wrap and coil it up or create a grid display out of it.

The overlay of the current information stream and the one being longer in the hose forms a complex dynamic pattern.

* Balloons

Take a mechanic balloon pump, a couple of transparent balloons, an Arduino, some pipes/hoses and some Arduino controlled valves.
The balloons are arranged in a grid. Their input is connected to a pipe. The pipes pass two valves and are connected to the ballon pump in the end. If the Arduino triggers the first valve the balloon get blown up a bit, if it triggers the second one the balloon loses air.

In this way quantities can be visualized by volume.

Conways Game of Life ist der Klassiker unter den zellulären Automaten. In meiner Arbeit interessierte mich vor allem, welche Spuren zufällige Populationen in der Zeit hinterlassen. Was man sieht ist nun nicht der Ist-Zustand einer Population, sondern die Häufung der Regionen an denen Zellen lebendig waren und die Regionen an denen sich Tod und Leben in schneller Frequenz abwechseln.

EKK:LoFi Sounds in HiFi Spaces/Making connection/TeamSpeak

2013-04-22T18:01:57Z

J.koehler:

== Teamspeak ==

Teamspeak is a voice communication software, which is intended for using it parallel to online games. So it is developed to have a small cpu usage and to be used with low bandwidth. As listening to music while playing is common there is a new high quality audio codec (coming with TS 3.0) called Opus Music which allows enabling a higher bandwidth for music streaming. Therefore TS might be interesting for live performing music over the internet.

The software consists of two parts: a client software with GUI and a console based server software. Communication partners have to connect to a server to start talking. If you are connected to a server you can create channels, give them names, protect them with passwords and configure the audio settings for them. As there can be many users on one channel at the same time TS offers the possibility for the users to place the other users in a 3D map helping to locate the different voice messages.

== Technical aspects ==

TS offers three control settings for the input signal: push to talk, voice based activation and constant streaming.

You can also activate echo reducing and echo damping, noise reduction and automatic signal normalization, which are affecting the resulting signal.

If the server settings are supporting there are are five different codecs which can be chosen in ten different quality levels:

* Speex low-bandwidth (Quality: 0 - 2.49 KB/s | Quality: 10 - 5.22 KB/s)
* Speex high-bandwidth (Quality: 0 - 2.69 KB/s | Quality: 10 - 7.37 KB/s)
* Speex ultra-high-bandwidth (Quality: 0 - 2.73 KB/s | Quality: 10 - 7.57 KB/s)
* Opus Voice (Quality: 0 - 2.73 KB/s | Quality: 10 - 7.71 KB/s)
* Opus Music (Quality: 0 - 3.08 KB/s | Quality: 10 - 11.87 KB/s)

== Tests ==
I wrote a Pd patch to test the distortion of the spectrum and the delay depending on the chosen codec and the settings for the input signal - you can download it here: [[Media:Test communication quality.pd]] [[Media: Hanning.pd]] (it might be useful for other communication software as well). To make use of it you need a audio routing software (jack or soundflower) and route the output of your communication software to the 3rd inlet of PD and the inlet of your communication software to the 3rd outlet of PD. The patch offers to functions: spectrum analysis and delay analysis.

As Jack and me have not found any time to work together I did the research on my own. So I have chosen a Teamspeak Server in California (to simulate the delay) and connected to it with two clients. In Jack I routed the output of the first client to the input of PD and the output of PD to the input of the second client (as described above).

These are the results of the spectrum and delay analysis:

This is short feedback improvisation using the testing sound of teamspeak. Depending on the current sound I activated and deactivated the possible input flags, adjusted the feedback strength and the current bandwidth (by opening loads of vimeo hd videos). The result is a rhythmic, slightly changing lofi sound.

== Teamspeak ==

Teamspeak is a voice communication software, which is intended for using it parallel to online games. So it is developed to have a small cpu usage and to be used with low bandwidth. As listening to music while playing is common there is a new high quality audio codec (coming with TS 3.0) called Opus Music which allows enabling a higher bandwidth for music streaming. Therefore TS might be interesting for live performing music over the internet.

The software consists of two parts: a client software with GUI and a console based server software. Communication partners have to connect to a server to start talking. If you are connected to a server you can create channels, give them names, protect them with passwords and configure the audio settings for them. As there can be many users on one channel at the same time TS offers the possibility for the users to place the other users in a 3D map helping to locate the different voice messages.

== Technical aspects ==

TS offers three control settings for the input signal: push to talk, voice based activation and constant streaming.

You can also activate echo reducing and echo damping, noise reduction and automatic signal normalization, which are affecting the resulting signal.

If the server settings are supporting there are are five different codecs which can be chosen in ten different quality levels:

* Speex low-bandwidth (Quality: 0 - 2.49 KB/s | Quality: 10 - 5.22 KB/s)
* Speex high-bandwidth (Quality: 0 - 2.69 KB/s | Quality: 10 - 7.37 KB/s)
* Speex ultra-high-bandwidth (Quality: 0 - 2.73 KB/s | Quality: 10 - 7.57 KB/s)
* Opus Voice (Quality: 0 - 2.73 KB/s | Quality: 10 - 7.71 KB/s)
* Opus Music (Quality: 0 - 3.08 KB/s | Quality: 10 - 11.87 KB/s)

== Tests ==

I wrote a PD patch to test the distortion of the spectrum and the delay depending on the chosen codec and the settings for the input signal - you can download it here : [[Media:Test_communication_quality.pd]] (it might be useful for other communication software as well). To make use of it you need a audio routing software (jack or soundflower) and route the output of your communication software to the 3rd inlet of PD and the inlet of your communication software to the 3rd outlet of PD. The patch offers to functions: spectrum analysis and delay analysis.

As Jack and me have not found any time to work together I did the research on my own. So I have chosen a Teamspeak Server in California (to simulate the delay) and connected to it with two clients. In Jack I routed the output of the first client to the input of PD and the output of PD to the input of the second client (as described above).

These are the results of the spectrum and delay analysis:
