Video Paramecia at the Spring Show
Video Paramecia was in the Spring Show! In HD! It had a great location in the entrance hallway where lots of people interacted with it. Here are a few screenshots from the second day. My only regret is that I…
Video Paramecia
I now understand why ITP students often incorporate multiple classes into their final projects. The obvious reason is, of course, less work. But the less obvious reason turned out to be more compelling: inspiration. I agonized for a few weeks…
It’s Just a Flesh Wound
The premise for this assignment was rather vague: tell a story with XML. Basically, we were supposed to design something that would take in camera input and return text output. While trying to figure out how to do this assignment,…
Augmented Reality, or: I Still Hate 3D (but Errors can be Cool)
I hate programming in 3D. I am trying not to hate it, but I can’t help it. Every time I build something in 3D it does not come out the way I expect it to. I think part of this…
Voyeurism Redux
For the midterm, I wanted to extend my Voyeurism project. This version of my program, titled “Voyeur,” connects to public (i.e. not password protected) IP cameras in 2 bars in Europe. The patrons of these bars are unaware that they…
Voyeurism
For the Where-When assignment, I built an applet that shows video feeds from 3 different networked cameras. The first of these cameras is located in a street in Lisbon, Portugal, the second a pub in Manchester, UK, and the third…
Let there be Lips
A little background: I love Rocky Horror Picture Show. In the beginning of the movie, a pair of lips sings the first song in darkness. I wanted to replicate this effect with karaoke lyrics and/or the actual lips, but I…
Kinect’s Gone Nuclear
For our assignment this week, Melissa Dela Merced and I decided to do a variation on #9 of my skeleton tracking ideas. It’s not quite as fancy as my description, but it’s a good start. Nuclear Kinect from Melissa A….
Skeleton Tracking
For Computational Cameras, we are supposed to come up with 10 ideas for skeleton tracking using the Kinect. These are the ideas I came up with. 1) 2-person horse costume – apparently this requires 2 Kinects 🙁 2) controlling a…
Kinect Arsonist
Our first assignment for Computational Cameras was to alter the code of a hand tracking program for the Kinect. The Kinect was initially designed as a gaming device, so I found myself reminiscing about my gaming days and the many…
