This software utilizes flocking algorithms to create an interactive installation featuring visually and musically engaging elements.
The system has been designed so that every agent in a 3D virtual space controls a MIDI instrument whose playing style is based on the agent's state. Therefore, the user acts as a conductor influencing the flock's musical output. Additionally, you can modify the system's acoustic properties in real-time using an easy-to-use GUI.
Flocking Orchestra mixes both natural and artificial reality on the behavioural level, resulting in a unique acoustical and visual output based on the user's behaviour and the flock's actions. This software is versatile and can be run on a variety of different computational configurations ranging from small laptops to exhibition-scale installations.
As a beta test version, this version of Flocking Orchestra is available for free. Give it a try and experience the unique musical and visual experience that comes with conducting a flock of agents with your movements.
