JavaScript and Interactive Installations

on YouTube ↗15m

" summary

Claims that JavaScript can be the glue for installations and shows concrete builds and results: a phone robot drives around, takes photos and uploads them via Node.js; a projector runs a fullscreen Chrome instance rendering audio-reactive WebGL visuals fed by WebRTC getUserMedia and Web Audio; a Leap Motion provides hand control to the visualization; packaging with Electron removes server/browser juggling. Setup takes about two to three weekends and the festival install named ectoplasmic runs successfully.
