I detect the distance of a reader with a webcam, for that i get a value between 0 and 1. That value i map to a fontsize, in this case 13 and 25. I want it to effect the fonth smooth over time. It the moment it does not go smooth. And if i use the .animate then it hardly doesn t work, i think this is because it get s a new value for the distance every 100ms and jquery doesn t now how to animate something that get s changed before a animation can even finish.
var fontSize = map(distance, 0, 1, 13, 25);
$("#section_1").css({ font-size : fontSize});
//$("#section_1").animate({ font-size : fontSize});
function map(value, istart, istop, ostart, ostop) {
return ostart + (ostop - ostart) * ((value - istart) / (istop - istart));
}
