Final Project Proposal: Interactive Flocking/CA Art

For my final project, I want to create a flocking/cellular automata based generative art similar to the following inspirations:

Interactivity

For interactivity, I want the users to be mostly involved in the generative art. I have a superficial idea of what I want to do, which might fail, but I will give it a try.

My initial idea is to have two devices to participate in generating the art, but what influences the art is the gravity and position difference taken from the device’s movements. Ideally the devices would be mobile phones.

For measurements, I will rely on device motion listeners that are supported on most browsers today, but, of course, will do my experiment and see how doable it is.

Here’s a page that describes device motions and gives examples:
