BIO CAN set up

the distance between the user and the screen is about 2 meters

in the wooden BIO CAN are five IR-LEDs, a 9V battery (for the LEDs) and a WII controller

a second WII controller tracks the IR-LEDs and sends these positions data via BlueTooth to the computer

a system of approx. 1000 particles simulates the coloured spray, like a gaussian distribution

if you tilt the BIO CAN the centre of the distribution moves, so it simulates a sprayed gradiant

another realistic effect is the drip, if you spray at one spot the color starts dripping, sometimes the drip moves along buttons and menus of the website

example
     
the BIO CAN installment consists of 5 parts:    
     
welcomescreen  

1 the welcome screen

 

     
selection screen  

2 the selection screen

you can choose between these 12 climate killers:

the German Government
Cargill Inc.
RWE
ExxonMobil
Vattenfall
RyanAir
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Volkswagen
TOTAL
US Government
e-on
Bayer

for every climate killer you can read the reasons why he is in the selection

     
 

3 the spray screen

after the website of the choosen climate killer is loaded, you can start spraying with the BIO CAN

you can switch between 75 colors, and 2 line styles

by pressing the 3rd button a help screen will pop up

     
 

4 the sender screen

after your sprayed message is saved, your picture will be sent to the chairmen of the climate killer

but before you have the chance to put in your email adress as a sender (but you dont have to, you can also stay unidentified)

every spraying at a letter emulates the keyboard and fills the sender field at the internet explorer

     
 

5 the email loop screen

after finishing the input of the sender field the email loop will start

as if done by an invisible hand the adress of the chairman will be put in automatically, as well as the subject and your sprayed picture as an attachment

receiver, subject, browse.. ,thumbnails, open, send email and back

over and over again the chairman will receive your sprayed message via email

like spam ;)

and after you think its enough - just click on a button and you can restart with choosing the next climate destroyer or the same - again

     

BIO CAN is made with vvvv and internet explorer

thanks to velcrome for the WIImote plugin and to the vvvvorum for the help
