Inspiration

The idea of easily creating cool art and my like for Kandinsky’s style of abstractionism inspired this project.

What it does

Our project allows you to create your own abstract art in a style inspired by famous artist Wassily Kandinsky. We use eye tracking software to allow the user to create a random shape with random size, color, and thickness based on where the eyes are looking relative to the computer's camera and keyboard input. The image is saved to the computer on quitting.

How we built it

We used python and libraries pygame, and gaze tracking. Pygames draw module was essential to creating the shapes and the display module was used to show the shapes.

Challenges we ran into

Figuring out what library to use was the first challenge for both the drawing aspect and eye tracking. Figuring out how to use the eye tracking software also took a lot of time and effort.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of creating a working program that includes all of our main goals and managing to use the difficult eye tracking software.

What we learned

We became more accustomed to python, the mentioned libraries, as well as github. We also learned how to work as a team and integrate our code into each others. Half of our team also experienced hackathon for the first time and learned how they worked.

What's next for Kandinsky abstract art simulator

The optional goals we did not have time to implement would be next such as a watercolor filter that would make the saved art png more like the inspired Kandinsky style.
