Telesignalization, an intimacy predicting machine with both partners, was used to measure the different stages of relationship based on how far they stand from the people next to them. Usually, most of us do not pay attention to the boundary between yourself and others. The inspiration on the telesignalization machine is playing the different role of the surveillance camera, which is the role of an advance fortune-telling machine. Each of us has a different physical reaction and observable emotion associated with individuals, as well as human gender. The box of the display can give such relationship data analysis about that person’s life. With the rise of quantization, this project can emphasize the awareness of body language or spatial awareness in society.

The Telesignalization device is made of an Arduino or Makey Makey. The monitor is installed on the box, and the box is made of black cardboard. The monitor connects to the small desktop/computer, and the camera is set up on the top center. It is a 1440x900 monitor.
It is using the application - Processing. The OpenCV library ( OpenCV - API ) and face detection is sufficient to use for the project. They mainly focus is detecting the eyes and the oval shape of the face. If the face is being tracked， then the live data/chart will displace a result. Without anyone standing in front of the camera, the screen only shows blank.
A 21st, century, camera in the public space has become surveillance cameras. The reason I used a camera capture for my project is to reform the modern video surveillance system to be an interesting capture system. The audiences can see the result and data statistics on the screen. There are five different stages of relationships, which are from strong to week. With the special idea, the surveillance camera can accomplish the measurement of two people's relationship.
The effectiveness of telesignalization depends on some basic assumptions about the knowledge and real-world experience that is common between the two people in the public. As the human relationship became more sophisticated over the last thousand years, the camera became capable of storing people's location's distance as quantity.
TimeLine: Week 1: Brainstorming ideas and listing all the thought for a senior project.
Week 2: Presenting the proposal in class to receive feedback from classmates. Revising the idea if there is a flaw.
Week 3: Introduce the timeline and organize the work time with the project
Starting to look into the performance art software like Processing
Week 4: Finding all the audio, images, and videos for my presentation installation.
Week 5: Midterm - Showing the presentation to the class. And receive possible feedback for the project
Week 6: Improving performance by changing it. Organizing the video source and music soundtrack for the performance. Adding specific details or different musical elements to the projects. Deciding on the three relevant work
Week 7: Setting up for the Makey Makey/ Arduino for the controlled
Week 8: Adding more coding or stuff for the Makey Makey
Week 9: Adding more elements to the Arduino key
Week 10: Giving a final presentation of the entire project, and thinking of improvement for the next quarter.
🛠
