Small Update

March 22nd, 2010

Ever feel like you are just running around in circles and not getting anywhere? Same here, but we keep moving. I wanted to just take a moment to write down some goings on. Firstly to let you know there is still someone alive on this site, and two so I don't forget some of the things I'm trying to accomplish. In no particular order:

  1. Working on a collaboration project with Benson Lee (on of the other TEDxCLE speakers and an Awesome guy) from TMI
  2. Proof of Concept out this idea I had for an RC car that is powered by a streaming twitter feed via processing and 2 arduinos and xbees
  3. Some web design stuff
  4. Some more multitouch tutorials
  5. Some more multitouch demo applications
  6. A demo application for the upright ViP capacitive foil display
    1. Hopefully the next dual touch version comes out soon...want
  7. Art project using stepper motors liberated from old scanner(s) ~ need more scanners
  8. Shoot some video of all this stuff
  9. Figure out if i can afford to get a Makerbot... then order it
  10. Test out some digital building projection, perhaps using GML and flash
  11. Get a working prototype of a digital graffiti wall
  12. Find a constant exercise routine schedule ~ more personal, why did I even bother writing that one?
  13. Debug some current projects and project requests
  14. Get ready for a visit to Tri-C to take with an Interactive Media class

Krikies what a list. One step at a time and it'll be alright.

Saturday’s Plan – Cam upgrade and Endurance Test

May 23rd, 2009

Dissecting the PS3eye Early to rise this morning, and a few things I'm trying to accomplish today. Two nights ago I made the switch from using the xbox live camera to the PS3. And I can not tell you how happy it has made me in the end! After learning which setting work the best with my computer (so far its 320x240 at 60fps).

Came across another website post, Pimp my Cam. Swapping out the PS3 lens for another lens which can hold a wide-angle security lens. Brilliant. So now I have the lens on order and I should have it this week sometime. But what to do till then. I'm exremely happy with the performance of the PS3 cam, but I have the xBox setup in the table. I couldn't wait, I needed to switch the camera and try first hand. I immediatly understood the use of the wide-angle lens, to get all of the screen in view the camera has to be put completely at the bottom of the box, I even needed to switch to a small mirror to help it fit. But it works great. Some temporary duct tape and I'm good to test. Read the rest of this entry »
