About the Book

If you're interested in using electronics and programming to create rich interactive experiences with your artwork, designs, or prototypes, "Programming Interactivity" is the place to start. You'll explore common themes in interactive art and design, like 2D and 3D graphics, sound, physical interaction, computer vision, circuit bending, geo-location and more. This book explains programming and electrical engineering basics, and introduces three freely available tools created specifically for artists and designers: Processing, a Java-based programming language and environment for building projects on the desktop, Web, or mobile phones Arduino, a system that integrates a microcomputer prototyping board, IDE, and programming language for creating your own hardware and controls OpenFrameworks, a coding framework simplified for designers and artists, using the powerful C++ programming language

You'll get working code samples you can use right away, along with the background and technical information you need to design, program, build, and troubleshoot your own projects. "Programming Interactivity" also examines cutting-edge design techniques, and includes discussions with leading artists and designers on projects and theory.
