Working on a project were I need to track people and their movements. The setting is outside in a very uncontrolled environment (the city). I posted a question on OF to see what people think, I got a ton of great feedback. Here is a video of some initial testing.

We ordered a bumble bee, which I think is the best solution but much harder to work with. I have some more research to do though.

ps: the gui is a new addon im working on download soon, or find it on the OF forum.

Well this is a late post about Ars, but its been busy since I got back. The trip was amazing, I had the best time working with everyone in the lab. Here are videos from the lab projects and more awesome photos from Ryan. I have a feeling that there will be a OF Lab part 2, so get ready.

Getting ready to head out for Ars Electronica in Austria. OpenFrameworks is building a lab for the entire event and I’m going to be a part of it. Ryan and I are heading out this weekend, get ready for the madness. Check out some of the videos so far. See you soon in Austria.

My good friend Josh Goldberg organized a great event this weekend. The name of the night was Cognitive Resonance, the venue was Monkey Town in Brooklyn. I performed with Dave Della Costa, he built his sound live using SuperCollider and I built and application coded with openFrameworks.

The app load a series of type images that I created. They are analyzed in realtime in order to fide the whole words and then each individual letter. I created many particle system that react to the each letter. I hope to work on the piece some more and do more of these events. Thanks Josh for getting this together, next stop Boston.

Just go back from Atlanta doing an installation for the SCMX music festival. The piece was installed under a tent on two HD 52″ LCD displays. The image was beautiful 1080p and super bright.

As people stand in front of the displays they were able to interactive with drifting bubbles filled with other small bubbles. You were able to pop the bubbles and have the inside bubbles pour over your contour. As you would move around dust would float off of you and every so often a ribbon would fly away based on your movement.

It was a interesting installation, our first time dealing with the sun and the elements of the outdoors. The piece will be touring around to the rest of the SCMX. More and better documentation to follow.

The lab was just written up in Creativity magazine. Unfortuantly Creativity doesn’t let you see their articles after 7 days. They never got the memo that the internet is free.

We had some kids come in today, they got to see what we do and try out some of the toys. You can learn a ton watching kids interact with this table. It was amazing watching them learn how to use the table with no explanation. They would teach each other as they figured out new features. I have a ton of new ideas to take from this.
