Description
This is a locomotion sperm-like simulation. The organism either follows the pointer or goes to a preset position. In this case, it follows the pointer when on the movie and goes to the bottom when pointing outside the movie.
The organism is composed of a list of nodes that maintain the positions of its whip like tail. The first node is the head, which determines direction of travel. The second node is the primary muscle, which oscillates behind the head in a rhythmic fashion and pushes the organism forward. The rest of the nodes move in relation to the nodes connected before them, using a simplified kinematic algorithm.
As shown here, it also can be applied as a mask.
This experiment is an extension of Flagellum organism made by the guys from Levitated.
