Examples of Digital Porosity Lenses

Additive Porosity Lenses
An additive porosity lens tracks input by creating elements to represent the data. In the above video, the LightCycles from Tron leave behind a glowing barrier that interacts with the environment. This is an interesting aspect, however after discussion with tutors, having the lens become the environment itself rather than a responsive environment was rejected. 

Subtractive Porosity Lenses


These lenses remove something from the environment or lens, showing where porosity flows are not present. In pacman, the white dots are removed from the display, showing parts of the maze left unexplored. Both types of lenses are suitable for this assignment, and it is difficult to work out which to pursue. Perhaps Both.
