Jackson Pollock Simulation.
This project incorporates Nerf™ Sensing Screen technology into a painting experience. The first phase required upgrading the microcontroller to a faster processor and optimizing the code. The next phase was to develop the on-screen interactivity. Like Jackson Pollock who was known to hurl paint at the canvas, this system incorporates the throwing of Nerf™ balls at the screen to simulate paint. When the Nerf™ ball strikes the screen a paint splat will appear representing the real paint action. The paint splats characteristics (size, appearance and paint running down the screen) are controlled by the software. After the painting is created it can be printed.
