Description
         

The experiments capture audio signals from a motorcycle and its surroundings and live video from two webcams while triggering an imported color palette jpeg file according to the audio’s noise floor threshold when a motorbike rider rides a motorcycle with the gear.

             
               
 

Starting (Night Ride)

This experiment uses audio, live video from both of the webcams on the rider’s shoulders, and a rotating color palette image. When there is sound from the motorcycle, video starts to capture by adjusted noise floor threshold (-1 dB). The darkness of the webcam input images will be filled with the rotating color palette image. The overall results will be uncontrollable and unpredictable, so I cannot explain why each part of the distortion is happening. The more the dark section is in the environment, the more the colored section will be dominant.

Fire Truck

This sequence was captured while the rider was riding along the fire truck. The firefighters were curious of the gear, and responded in a friendly matter by waving their hands, honking, and activating the air hydraulics from the brakes.
Actual live video was omitted from this section in order to capture different results. Audio input and the color palette image were used. At the sounds of the fire truck’s hydraulic brakes, the color becomes stronger and the movement becomes more rapid.

Opera Singer

The rider was passing by the building where an opera singer was singing. At the section of her voice, little squares of the color palette started to emerge, and accumulated at the lower right side of the image.

Stopping

The rider stops the engine, and then removes the key from the main switch. All images are solely of the color palette still image which behaves according to the sound and pre-adjusted noise floor threshold (-3 dB) in order to set the video as not being captured when there was no sound from the motorbike.
