SIGNAL
Spatial System
A technical simulation for a spatial interaction system in which human movement becomes realtime data, then behaviour distributed across LED surfaces.

System idea
Movement becomes signal.
The system is conceived around people moving through a physical zone. Radar observations describe position and motion without relying on a camera image. Those measurements are turned into a shared realtime state that can influence text, motion, intensity and other behaviours across multiple outputs.
Readable at two levels
For a visitor, the idea is simple: movement changes the environment. Technically, the work is a distributed sensing, networking and realtime-rendering pipeline.
Simulation layer
Godot as a design instrument.
The current project is a simulator, not a documentation of an installed work. It models people, sensor coverage, spatial sectors and distributed LED surfaces so interaction logic can be tested before hardware deployment.
What is already testable
Multi-target movement, overlapping sensing zones, screen influence, crowd states, network packets, project configurations and runtime performance can all be explored inside the simulation.
Target realtime pipeline
mmWave radar
Multiple 24 GHz tracking modules provide position and movement observations at sensor rate.
ESP32 + Ethernet target
A network bridge is planned to collect sensor data and expose a stable stream. Exact hardware remains part of the implementation phase.
WebSocket / JSON
The simulator already defines a network contract separating raw observations, spatial tracks and output states.
TouchDesigner
TouchDesigner remains the intended final realtime layer for behaviour, rendering, mapping and system monitoring.
Art-Net / LED
The target output is a set of distributed LED surfaces addressed through a final pixel-mapping and Art-Net stage.
Current state
Simulation first.
No physical installation is claimed here. The current value of SIGNAL is the system model: interaction logic, sensing assumptions, data architecture, visualisation and performance testing are being developed before an eventual in-situ implementation.
Portfolio status
R&D / technical simulation. Client, venue and deployment details are intentionally absent.
