Yeah, I worked all the night with a computer close to the crash, but hey I did it (even if quite in late). Now let’s get a big break before restarting to work for other projects: I feel a bit dizzy. You know, staying operative in front of a pc for 24 hours (almost continuously) is not so healty.

Heres some projection attempts that, me and my team (Dreamstop), did last week, to set up an early prototype of our installation.

The code captures a video from a camera (in this case it’s the webcam), posterizes it in black and white giving to white pixels the highest transparency. Then copies every frame on an array which overalys (acting as a mask) a pre-recorded video. There’s also a version with a selectable threshold.
Durrell Bishop re-wrote completely the Processing code for us. Thank you so much Durrell!
Me and my team weren’t able to find what was going wrong with our initial version of the code. Durrell fixed up everything.
Durrell Bishop and Tom Hulbert are from Luckybite
Download a low resolution version of the code. Follow the instruction on the page to make it work correctly.

Here are uploaded the earlier four videos of the first day of workshop by Tom Hulbert about Arduino. He made a little introduction, to the students of the Interactive artefacts prototyping studio course in IUAV, about physical computing with this board and providing general technical informations.

Oh, damn! I totally missed this one when I was a kid. The Sega Activator: an early-90s pseudo-futuristic controller for the Mega Drive (Genesis in the USA) which replaces switches with infra-red beams and lightdiodes. Probably it was just a response to the Power Glove by Nintendo? Read the rest of this entry »
