Begin by identifying the community you wish to engage and the environment in which your system will exist. Observe how participation naturally occurs within this context and consider how your design might introduce new forms of interaction that unfold over time.

Consider what kinds of inputs best capture participation or environmental change: sound, motion, gesture, light, text, or network data. Experiment with simple prototypes to test how these inputs might be sensed and translated into a dynamic response.

• Think about how participants will be prompted to engage. What invitations, cues, or gestures draw them in?
• What feedback encourages ongoing involvement? How might these exchanges evolve across minutes, hours, or days?
• How does the physical environment shape interactions? Consider spatial arrangements, materiality, and context.This is the continuing process of our Project 3: Community Protocol. We will continue to refine and develop this project over the next few weeks. The full description is here.

Assignment

Have a solid concept that you're ready to present for next week.

Custom Libraries

Therer are many p5.js libraries that would receive live inputs from different sensors and devices.

• p5.sound - for audio input and manipulation
