Kupa is a collaberative visualizer where you can move “Blip” the sound amoeba using different instruments. This project was completed with the intentions of being an event only experience for Kutztown University students to interact with in the Grim Planetarium.
The 4 instruments that were used in the creation of this video are a violin, guitar, bass, and your tweets.
Kupa is a processing experiment thought up by 4 Kutztown University seniors. Kupa was developed during an Interdisplinary Team Project class taught by Professor Josh Miller during the Spring semester.

By utilizing beads and processing, Kupa reacts to frequencies of different instruments. By combining individual visualizations we creating a fully collaborative visualizer.
This animation was featured in the KU Planetarium on May 3rd,2014 at 7pm at Kutztown University. With over 30 college students present we were able to track everyones tweet and allow them to collaborate, even if they were not able to use the guitar or violin.
