PS3 Eye Driver Framerate Patch
The PS3 eye driver has a fixed default videomode and framerate. If you want to change the framerate of your PS3 eye in linux you usually have to unload the module and load it again. We modified bear24rw's patch to include the posibility to change the framerate form your favorite viewer like GUVCview or from your own code like openFrameworks...

3d point cloud blob tracking & targeting with kinect and a robotic pan-tilt turret
After exploring the possibilities of using opencv 2d algorithms for 3d tracking with 3d depth buffer images, we decided to work directly with the 3d point cloud data to perform a better and more versatile 3d tracking.

Samuel Beckett's QUAD play robotic performance
The lab had the honor to be working in the robotic version of Beckett's Quad play. The project, by the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry (SCI) at CMU, is an original concept by Matt Gray (director of the play), and was produced by Golan Levin, in charge of the SCI.

Arduino Roomba Wishield
Last week we experimented with the iRobot Create Open Interface platform as part of our collaboration with Golan Levin and his GML to Roomba project (see other GML related projects), at the CMU STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, Pittsburgh, with the following people involved:
Golan Levin: GML parsing; project management.
David Sanz Kirbis: Arduino development and wireless protocols.
Paul Miller: Processing software and robot control.
Evan Roth and Matthew Gray: Instigation.

Pandaboard is hot!
The Pandaboard's Omap 4430 is designed to work in small devices without heatsink. However, we noticed it gets really hot in a warm environment.

Kinect with Processing on Ubuntu Linux
At last it seems to work!
We have been trying to make Kinect accessible from Processing with the help of OpenKinect's Java JNI Wrapper tutorial, Nikolaus Gradwohl's tutorial and some hints at this thread.
Weekend at Medialab Prado with Golan Levin's Kinect workshop
He explained some of his most renown pieces in an interesting conference. You can watch the video at Medialab Prado site. Golan also showed some of the last creations of the independent community taking advantage of this technology.

Realtime mapping video projection experiments (2)

Second experiment to realtime mapping video projection over a physical object in movement. Currently testing the object "pdp_artkp": ARToolKitPlus object for pd, developed by Yves Degoyon. Imaging performed on a white base, as the marker is on the back of the stand, hidden from the user but visible to the camera.

Custom size embedded Vimeo videos on Wordpress
I'm keeping a research diary of my thesis project in the Wordpress blog site of the university: cvcinema.blogs.upv.es
There is a tutorial showing how to easily embed vimeo videos on Wordpress: http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/vimeo/ . However, in my blog the videos where always shown in 4:3 aspect with letterbox.
