So a little earlier this year, I was talking to the Warp guys about some of the stuff they wanted to do for the Cosmogramma release. Cosmogramma Fieldlines is a free augmented reality application to celebrate the imminent release of the new Flying Lotus album ‘Cosmogramma’. They showed me the cover artwork and at the time, I was looking some pictures of solar wind and the Earth’s magnetosphere (good images at the wikipedia pages for solar wind and magnetosphere) and it kind of clicked for me that the magnetic field line stuff I’d be playing with before related to the cover artwork in what I thought was a really intuitive way. It can be controlled with your webcam or mouse. Cosmogramma Fieldlines was developed by Aaron Meyers with sound design by Flying Lotus and harp by Rebekah Raff. So I hacked together a quick prototype in OpenFrameworks and they were really into it and we just went from there. More on FlyLo’s record as we get closer to launch. I can’t bear to tease the thing any longer. In the meantime, you can grab Fieldlines and play right now, free: (Now, if there were just easier ways to get these kinds of creations on big-screen HDTVs.) I have to say, too, for all the hype about tablets and mobile devices (some of which I propagate myself), here’s a gorgeous, free toy that takes advantage of the larger, brighter screen and greater processor muscle on your laptop or desktop. Cosmogramma Fieldlines is a wonderful and free augmented reality application to celebrate the imminent release of the new Flying Lotus album ‘Cosmogramma’ (itunes). The album launches Tuesday, with a full-length preview available on NPR’s fantastic All Songs Considered blog Monday.
