Musician and musical robot maker Charlie Williams created this fun art piece with a combination of OpenCV (an open-source computer vision toolkit that provides, among many things, facial recognition) and Processing. more info, including the opportunity to download the code and play with it yourself!
Andrew Odewahn, our Director of Business Development, has been doing a lot of interesting things with Processing. Over a series of posts here on Make: Online, Andrew will share some of his projects with you in our Codebox series, covering topics like color tracking, augmented reality, and fun interactive graphics.
Create your own drawing and animation software-and learn basic programming and electronics skills at the same time. This engaging 5-week online course introduces you to two simple tools: Processing, a programming language for visual thinkers, and Arduino, a hardware platform for working with electronics. You’ll learn how to use these tools together to build something useful right away.
Ed Baafi has been working up Modkit, a great new interface that combines the language Scratch with the ability to write programs for the Arduino. Like Scratch, Modkit provides the user with clickable and expandable code blocks. When you have the program the way you want it, you send it down to your Arduino board and test it out. All those fussy semicolons and syntax are handled automatically, no typing required.
Flame is an art program created by Peter Blaskovic using Processing, a noob-friendly flavor of Java favored by artists and hobbyists. Flame shows how far the language has grown. It basically lets you draw using your mouse pointer, and the lines you draw look awesomely like fire. [via Kottke]
Voxopolis is a 3D city-generating engine based on Conway’s Game of Life and programmed in Processing by Jeannette Kuo, Dino Rossi and Dominik Zausinger. Also see the Flickr set. [via Beyond the Beyond]
Lucky Larry made this neat looking radar visualizer for an ultrasonic scanner, using Arduino and a Processing sketch
