After completing the testing in Week 10, I purchased a live evening primrose plant online to prepare for the final phase of testing and debugging. Since the virtual plant model used in the immersive installation is based on the evening …
Week 11: Final Setup and adjustment for My immersive Installation ‘Silence Pulse’ Read more »
I focused this week on testing the full pipeline from data collection to visual output. The goal was to ensure that the real-time connection between the plant’s bioelectrical activity and the digital environment remains stable and expressive. Step 1: Activate …
Week 10: Test and Debug My Immersive Installation & Revisit my Gantt Chart Read more »
Enhancing Visual output Through Feedback At this stage, I began reviewing the visual output of my system and realised that the results were not fully aligned with my original vision. While the particle responses and data-driven behaviours were functioning correctly, …

Step 1: Building a Base for Real-Time Audio Input and Particle dynamic effect In this stage, I focused on combining real-time audio data with the 3D particle system of the virtual plant model. My goal was to allow the plant’s …
Week 8: Combined the Real-time Audio and 3D Particle Cloud in TouchDesigner Read more »
In the early concept of this project, my goal was to import a virtual plant model into TouchDesigner and transform it into a particle-based form. Rather than keeping the plant as a static or decorative object, I imagined it as …
Week 7: Initial Stage for Creating the TouchDesigner Visual and Audio Pipeline Read more »
1. Finishing the Model and Facing Export Challenges: By Week 5 and Week 6 (a), I had completed the final stage of my 3D modelling process. The structure, materials, and textures of the virtual plant were all in place. In …
Week 6(b): Bake 3D Modelling and Output as ply format Read more »
Initial Modeling Concepts I started with the recognisable form of the evening primrose, including its central stem, flowers, and the slender pedicels that connect each bloom. From there, I imagined gentle visual animations and textures that might suggest the activity …
Initial Concept: Bioelectrical Data to MIDI-Driven Visuals Initially, my idea was to convert a plant’s bioelectrical data into MIDI notes, which would then produce corresponding sound frequencies. These sound frequencies would be transmitted into TouchDesigner, influencing a 3d plant model’s …
1. Prepare the Arduino component After working through the Arduino circuit diagram and breadboard sketch in Fritzing, I began preparing for the physical installation of the device. Based on the earlier prototyping process, I had already developed a clear understanding …
1. Create the Mind map and Interactive Diagram for my Graduation project In my previous supervisor meeting, I received feedback on my project. My supervisor suggested that I start designing an interactive model sketch and mind map, which would allow …
