The Burning Spheres of Dionysus

As it stands, this is a virtual kinetic sculpture designed to work in the Allosphere. It supports live streaming of 3D point clouds created from Kinect data, boids simuated with hashSpace kNN, and a lorentz attractor simulation.

Dependencies

• Allollib Playground
• libfreenect (for the Kinect)

How to Install

Ensure libfreenect is installed on your machine, and that the allolib_playground repo is cloned. Clone this repo into the Allolib_Playground directory.

How to Run

1. CD to allolib_playground, then use the command ./run.sh TheBurningSpheresOfDionysus/burningSpheres.cpp.
2. In order to see the distributed state work, open a second terminal and repeat the step above. This will open a second display that replicates the multi-screen effect in the Allosphere. To Enable Kinect Streaming edit MAT201B/burningSpheres/burningSpheres.cpp and on line 30 in the //tweak zone change the kinectInitiallyStreaming value to true. Ensure the kinect is plugged in, then repeat the first two steps.
