The Interactive Flower is an immersive, web-based experience that combines art and technology through hand gesture recognition. Using ml5.js’s HandPose model and p5.js, this project allows users to interact with a digital flower through their hand movements. The flower reacts to gestures, emotions, and user interactions, offering a visual representation of emotional states such as calmness, curiosity, and distress.
This project aims to create a dynamic, engaging experience that merges human motion with digital art, inviting users to explore the emotional connection and communication between their visual language and the natural world.
Visual Art Interaction:
The user’s gestures control abstract visual effects, such as ripples, blooming petals, and dynamic lines, making the interaction feel organic and responsive.
● Open palm slow waving = calm, plants emit soft waves, color ranges from light green to blue.
● Rapid waving = distress, plants react with spiky/aggressive visuals, color ranges from red, orange to dark-brown.
● Pointing with 1 finger = curiosity, color ranges from white to pink.
