2012-05 Time to move on: all content here will migrate to HTML5. I do not have the resources to support older browsers. If something does not work, there are excellent free browsers: Chrome, FireFox, Opera, Safari. These pages demonstrate visual phenomena, and »optical« or »visual illusions«. The latter is more appropriate, because most effects have their basis in the visual pathway, not in the optics of the eye. Emphasis here is on interactivity and understanding of the visual mechanisms involved, to the degree they are understood.

Dynamic Bitmap Particle Explosion With Gravity | Free ActionScript
Here is a new Dynamic Bitmap Particle Explosion effect with gravity. This is an update to the previous dynamic explosion effect that used movieclips instead of BitmapData. The bitmap version works much faster and smoother. Check out this post for BitmapData usage examples .

I’m an interaction designer, creative developer, user interface designer, digital artist and owner of Neave Interactive . I make applications, games, tools, toys, interactive art and installations. I’m British and live in London . Since 1999, neave.com has been my digital playground: an online home for my ideas, experiments and a place to share my interactive tools and toys. I treat technology merely as a means to an end — for me it is not the focus. Great use of technology only comes from a great idea.

Machine translations are useful for getting a general idea about what text written in a foreign language means. However, "general idea" isn't always exactly accurate; the translator literally translates (word for word) the text which often results in grammatically incorrect, if not completely incoherent, text. We've developed Bad Translator to show just how funny things can get. Enter any text in English then click "Translate!"

Commute Map
In Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us) , the author states that commute times throughout history have remained steady at roughly a half hour in each direction. Advances in transportation technology (our feet, horses, bicycles, trains, automobiles, flying cars, etc.) allow us to live farther from where we work. This got me thinking about my own commute from Berkeley to San Francisco , how it compares to those of my neighbors, and how commutes vary across the country. This visualization draws a red circle at the center of each zip code indicating the number of people who travel to or from that area.

In this first tutorial, we'll see the notes that sound well together between the melody and bass. This are just some indications and not some rules : it is possible that the music sounds in another way. In fact, these are not exactly the same notes, they are octaves because the bass is lower than the melody. In the following excerpt, the melody is always in the octave of the bass.

I recently found an great article about bezier curves by Mike Kamermans. What made it extra amazing was that all the images were open-sourced, interactive files created with Processing JS . You’re able to follow the mathematics of beziers as well understand how they were executed by reading the code. His brief about calculating offset curves sparked off this concept of layering. By taking the initial bezier and rotate it about the y axis you get a simple and easily adjustable lathe.

Simple sinewave synthesizer triggered by an ordinary 16step sequencer. Each triggered step causes a force on the underlaying wave-map , which makes it more cute. it could be a very popular and really addictive thing if you keep working on it! - add more sounds showed by different colors - add vertical line which helps identify speed and current position of toggled cells - ability to change speed of line - octave up, down buttons - ability to add new matrix lower or upper than main one, similar to layers.
