S3237520 Globe: Pure Data Patch - project 2
From Physical Programming
Globe
My concept was to create a globe, with a map of the earth imposed over a sphere. I then want to be able to type in various countries and the view will pan to that position over the globe.
This would allow a zoom and spin function over the globe, similar to its application on Google Earth.
If I used voice recognition or a sound sensor I could program so when a country is said by the user it will be shown on the screen.
In this patch i was able to generate a globe, and spin it to any location. i was also able to change the background colours as this movement is being completed.
Commands (Select the Create command on PS document. And set sphere to max number of sides so make the globe totally spherical.)
Space Bar = Start, Esc Key = Escape/End, W, S, A, D keys for X and Y movement of globe, Q and E Keys for Z movement of globe, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 keys for colour change
To create the function of being able to type in a name and the globe fixes into a certain point was hard to achieve. I looked into the 'array' function, but was unable to program them to do this function. Google earth may have simpler software to deal with this situation.
