Had two weird dreams last night 1) where I was showing short films by other people (but I’d dreamt them), 2) dinner with @ianvisits ! #
Morning spent messing about with projectively texturing cubemaps onto other geometry with light matrices. Now back to work on proposals… #
@ianvisits Yeah, tell me about it! in reply [...]
We’ve been keeping it under our hats for a while now but the code is nearing completion so it’s time to reveal one of the latest major features we’ve been adding to PatchBox: 3D Scanning.
The image above was created using one projector and one camera resulting in a 300,000 point cloud. We haven’t smoothed this [...]
Writing some laser tracking code. That’s right, tracking frickin’ LASERS! #
Taken drawing perspective chessboards to new depths (hah). My homography is strong. #
Passing through a downpour at Haywards Heath, heading to London to meet, and demo PatchBox to, The Darkroom #
Burger and beers on the night train heading south. Good to catch up with the [...]
We’re heavily focussed, if you will excuse the pun, on camera and projector calibration at the moment. The images above are a live video feed taken by a camera that has been calibrated to the geometry of the room that it is filming and reprojected onto the model’s geometry (!).
Busy days ahead for Quadratura. Off to vbites this morning to adjust some veg, London tonight, perhaps Bath at the end of the week. #
Vbites veg up and running (power cut?) Must install a big red reset button. Heading back to work on the new PatchBox boardroom demo. #
Two very interesting meetings in London. Doing [...]
Back at Martin’s after driving around London checking the seven sites we’re planning to cover in video projections tomorrow night. #
Finished the final route plan for tomorrow. Time for an early night – is going to be a long day! #
Drinking coffee and making video content for tonight’s projections. Will be posting up live images [...]
Little bit blind (temporarily, hopefully) after projecting video onto his eyes on purpose. Ah R&D, it’s sometimes a dangerous business… #
Possible to use modified pyramid image segmentation with canny edge detection to fill in the holes? Would depend on input quality, I guess.. #
Listening to Tower of Power and downloading my brain into FreeMind. #
Ouch, [...]
Still working on winter exhibition plan – hard going trying to balance technology, cost, and artistic cohesiveness! #
Seem to keep coming up with ideas involving Slinky springs… dear god, man, why? #
Saw a gull killing a pigeon in the road. Since the introduction of gull-proof bins here, they’re getting deadlier! Where’s Tippi? #brighton #
Where will [...]
In the process of adding PhysX particles into PatchBox
Rough spheres bouncing off a plane.
Checking billboard alignment.
Texture mapped billboards.
Had a marvelous, albeit rather hot, time last night watching short films in London. Alison, Brett, Dan, Ivano, Walter, you talented lot! #
After Spanish pastries and coffee with Martin and Niamh, walked from Ladbroke Grove to Victoria Station. Got caught up in Hare Krishna march #
Dropped PortMidi support in PatchBox – polling for events is [...]
