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.
