I like where Youtube user DanieleMattei is going with his video Filter control via light blob tracking in Processing. Using OpenCV and Processing (what else!), he rigged up a way to control the parameters of his synth by waving a flashlight around.
Bitartist has written and posted a Processing script that causes the eyes of an onscreen portrait to follow your face as you move past a camera. Primo haunted house material. Thanks man!
A month or so ago at the dump, I helped Michael harvest the optical sensor out of a skiing machine just as closing time descended upon us. As we got hustled away from the picking pile, he mentioned that he needed it to make a speed governor for a wood cutting and splitting machine. A […]
Eric started experimenting with processing and came up with GlowDoodle. A few weeks ago, he showed me the program and we messed around with some light. When we talked, he had the mac version running, and was still in development of the Windows version, which is also now ready for a free download. There are […]
Registration opens today for the Art and Code symposium — it’s a low-key conference teaching a variety of tools specially developed for use in the arts and education to artists, young people, and everyone else. Among the presenters will be many of the people behind these tools, including the creators of Processing — the software […]
Mr. Book sent in his strategy for controlling Arduino from a MIDI controller through Processing – My implementation uses a single DAC IC chip, the MCP4921, which sells for about 2 bucks from Mouser. The current version uses the Arduino, only to read one byte, as a midi note, from the serial connection and sends […]
