I’ve added links to my lecture notes I used for teaching interface design at Doğuş University to my wiki.

PixelPlayer
I added an entry to my wiki that documents development I’m doing on Processing-based sight-to-sound mapping.
Thermometer update
I’ve revised my tutorial on making a thermometer to work with Processing 2 and have made other code fixes and enhancements.
Of Compasses and Randomness
I’ve added a Processing tutorial on my wiki that tries to demonstrate how different kinds of randomness and noise “feel”.
Qt Quick Controls have arrived
Qt Quick Controls are officially part of the brand new Qt 5.1 release. I’ve been waiting a long time for this!
There’s also a bunch of Qt Quick Layout Managers and Dialogs in the release. This is cool.
Models versus habits
Many computer users don’t develop mental models. Rather, they develop interaction habits. Habits are much more fragile than models. They fall apart when there’s any shift of context.
Processing: Video capture examples
I added some code examples my wiki that demonstrate how to do video capture in Processing using the Capture library. More examples will probably follow.
Processing: Capture is a PImage
Something the documentation on Processing’s Capture class doesn’t mention is that Capture is derived from PImage. I went digging into the Capture source code to figure that out:
public class Capture extends PImage implements PConstants { ...
This means all the methods and fields available to PImage objects should also be available to Capture objects. This makes video processing a lot easier!
How to make a thermometer
Over on my wiki, I’ve posted a series of examples that take you through the process of scraping XML data with Processing and using it to build a simple thermometer.
