Virtual Desk

Virtual Desk is a Processing application created as a final project for the CART 253 Languages of Programming class. In this interactive space, typical office supplies are simulated. Specifically, the user has the ability to manipulate sticky notes, use a stapler and pop bubble wrap.

Although the stickies application may seem somewhat useful, this environment encourages the user to frivolously use supplies to fulfill their innate desire to wreak havoc in their office. None of these applications are new or original. The stapler, bubble wrap and stickies each possess a web-space of their own. However, it is the first time they can be found conveniently organized on one desk. To incorporate the satisfying sounds of office equipment, the library MINIM was used. This sound library enables user interaction to trigger sounds (which are easily declared as variables). The images which are used to simulate a workplace environment are acquired from sxc.hu.
