The software that it´s doing the real-time simulation on Efecto Mariposa (Butterfly Effect) it call EDEN. It´s entirely made on openFrameworks and GLSL shaders. Also I develop a control remote through OSC for the iPad call edenControl ( github.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/edenControl )
The idea of splitting the software from the art work. It´s to implement this interactive simulations in everyday classrooms. The current educational system is outdated and desperately needs a way to integrate and connect content to be meaningful to new generations who are accustomed to think of network. The main idea of Efecto Mariposa it´s to help in the process of the way people see and thinks his ambient and community. EDEN as a software aims to bring this shift to everyday classroom.
Just imagine learning from biology and geography viewing and interacting as things happen. And at the same time been able to learn about mathematics and computer science. Is not this way that knowledge should be transmitted. Learning by doing questions and making connections.
It´s not the way our brains work? like a network driven by curiosity
Hi Patricio
I really like this work from you, I mentioned it for an interview about Kinect you can have a look here:

Hello Paul, thanks for your feedback!
I´m making a specific webpage for that work call http://www.efectomariposa.cc/ because some people start to work with my code and I want to take life for it owns. Your article would be an excelente link of the media repercussion. Thanks so much!
Patricio
