Summary, Context, & Audience
</aside>
String-A-Nette was a project that I started in the spring of 2025. At the time, I left the project as a simple interactive piece with hands and also getting the different properties of the puppet to work. Each limb was hand drawn by me and uploaded as files onto the p5.js editor. With the help of professor Jung Hyun Moon, this project has taken on it’s initial shape. I decided to come back to this project because there were still things I wanted to add to it. This time, I added the User-Undetected Mode and also made the interaction even simpler than before. With the pinch of your hands, you are able to pull the puppet around as if there was a string attached from the virtual version to your hand. With the release of your pinch, the puppet looses it’s attachment point and falls off screen. If you wait a little bit after the puppet has fallen off screen, you find a little something interesting and lively.
