A Smart-Shape Ecosystem for Interactive Creativity
From a music performance tool to a universal programmable shape platform.
🎼 It started with music.
- Interactive polygon pads used to trigger MIDI events (note, velocity, channel).
- Pads arranged in a play area; touched or traced with a finger/stylus to perform live music.
- Realization: the shape interaction model is powerful beyond music.
- Visual: A simple pad layout over a piano roll, evolving into a branching graph.
🧠Shapes aren’t just buttons — they’re programmable agents.
- Pads can store data, react to touch, and trigger external actions.
- They can modify other pads and transition between layouts (pages).
- The same paradigm can power games, control systems, and adaptive UIs.
- Visual: Pad pressed → chain reaction of transformations → new layout.
