Title
Color the World
Background
Every one of us plays a role in this world. Our actions, our identity determines how the future will be shaped. We are like a huge community that keeps contributing and changing the world, for better or worse. It's not just the government, researchers, or designers that are capable of making an impact, a change to people's lives, or perception. How many times do you think your life may had an effect on others'?
Problem Identification
The message 'We are the future' needs to be screamed as loud as possible. People are unaware of the fact that everything we do will determine the future and create a world like how it is today. We need to connect people. Wake them up and let them know that our relation between each other is stronger than we thought. That everything we do will affect each other, good or bad, a lot or by the tiniest amount.
Aim & Objective
- To connect people, unite them, build a sense of community
- To make them realize that all of us, our decisions our actions will affect everyone's life and the world
- To 'capture' people and 'paint' the world with their colors
Motivation
A lot of people are lost in this world. By lost, I mean in a lot of ways. Not knowing what they're supposed to do. Lost in a virtual online gaming world. Lost in a social network like Facebook. Lost in thinking that they are alone in this world. They are so lost that they don't see that although it is true we roll along when the world spins, at the same time the world changes as we live our daily lives. My motivation is to wake everybody up ( including myself ) and bringing all of us together to realize our huge part in this world.
Ideation and Concept
The audience will have to stand in front of the webcam. When motion is detected, the application will start to countdown and take a picture. From the captured image, three colors will be picked ( brightest, mid, lowest ). These colors will then be used to compose and color a random image representing the world ( tree, beach, mountains, etc ). The final result will be shown on an extended display ( a projection screen ). When the application is idle ( no motion detected/no user participating ), the projection screen will show a gallery of all the taken pictures with results.
Another approach is to make the installation real-time. The webcam will capture a livefeed, taking colors from the input and always changing/coloring images.
Target Audience
Those who are concern of themselves and/or the world ( Everyone )

Design Approach
Actionscript 3.0 for programming bitmaps capture and image composition. Webcam for motion detection, also for image capturing. LCD Display and medium-size projection
- Visual : Random pictures of scenery, nature
- Audio : According to the image ( e.g : waves, seagulls for image of beaches )
