I want to play around with my tracking data (GPS and GPX) coming from my running app Runmeter (fig. 1). My initial idea is to visualize the tracks I run in the park nearby. By layering my tracks I try to create neat shapes and patterns with the help of processing… I'm still in the trying.
#1 Approach
My running app: Runmeter
My running tracks
My track in the app
The output visualized
#2 Approach
When playing the sketch, I’d like to see the tracks I’ve running with the follwing effects:
1) When pushing enter I’d like to let my track start running after it popped up.
The track I ran should be in a specific colour.
2) One effect I would like to achive is to manipulate the speed of my route.
I would like the sketch to automatically add an intense colour to the stroke of the GPX trace according to the speed I ran. Also, viceversa: The route faints when the speed slows down.
3) Another route I ran should be added, when pushing enter another time. It should alter its appearance the same way as the other routes that are on the canvas.
