<![CDATA[simulate visitors in installation space]]>Hi,
as I am working in the field of interactive installations, I often come to the point that I have to simulate visitors in the installation space.
Usually I use the Isadora 2D XY pad and change the XY position in the pad (=position user in the space) manually.

Is there a clever way to simulate a human walk as kind of a random walk with changing the XY coordinates?
But the changes should be smooth, so no random numbers with big steps between.
Just, like drawing e cury endless line in the XY pad object.

Thanks for any hint.

best,
frank

Hi,
thanks for this. I tried it out and it works almost fluent.




best wishes,

I use this approach to build smooth/random movements for 2d tetrahedrons here
