Description
-----------
ShadowPlay is an exploration of architecture and light in outdoor spaces through sound. Using a bicycle-mounted sensor and a smartphone aimed skywards, the mottled patterns of light and shadow become the musical score and one rides along their city streets.
Basic Usage
-----------
1. Place device in bicycle mount with active camera uncovered (either front or rear)
2. Open ShadowPlay application
3. Calibrate:
* a. Open ... -> Calibrate
* b. Press the Start button
* c. Roll bike over both light and dark areas
* d. Press Stop button when finished
4. Choose audio scene in Scenes table
5. Ride through areas of light and dark to trigger scene audio
When using the front camera facing upwards, try riding directly under trees, bridges, or overhanging objects to affect the brightness.
