I have a simple site set up at <a title=\"Fractaleid website\" href=\"http:\/\/fractaleid.com\" target=\"_blank\">fractaleid.com<\/a>, in future I hope to have more dynamic user generated content there and perhaps an HTML5 version.<\/p>\n<p>This is certainly the most polished piece of work I have produced to date; it is nice to feel I have something truly suitable for public consumption. Simple manipulation via standard multitouch gestures provides a tangible and immediate sense of agency to the user, but also crucially leads to a deepening intuition of the rich and diverse possibilities embedded within as they explore more. I am thoroughly addicted to this thing!<\/p>\n<p>Since stills don&#8217;t really do it justice, I should show some video. This is not a very polished presentation, but it should give a glimpse at the style of interaction and graphics:<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AXZermsZmlE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>There are still various things that I want to add, as well as making it available on more platforms. There are lots of things I could do that would have interesting results. However, I am trying to take a measured approach to the addition of features, as much of the real strength and integrity of the work at this point is it&#8217;s singularly simple conceptual basis and implementation, eschewing gratuitous ornamentation. Hopefully that coherence will not be lost as the work grows.<\/p>\n<p>I have plenty of new ideas (some closely related to this, others less so) that I&#8217;m keen to build in the near future, but also a lot of old sketches and prototypes kicking about, many of which have little or no documentation associated with them, and most &#8211; at the time of writing &#8211; are not represented on this website even where images, sound or video do exist. The satisfaction of finally completing a piece of work that I feel proud of is also a reminder and motivation for me to revisit some of this &#8216;old&#8217; work in order to finally polish it to the level I feel it deserves and make it presentable to the public. So if you&#8217;ve read this far, thank you very much, I&#8217;d also like to thank my father, etc etc&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve released an app based on my earlier experiments with kaleidoscope video feedback.
