This project called ‘Slit-scan Cam‘ by Casey Pugh has exactly the same video effect as ‘Chronotopic Anamorphosis‘ by André Mintz. The only difference is that Casey build it with Flash, so you can try it out for yourself if you have a webcam.
This video ‘Chronotopic Anamorphosis’ is quite simple but the effect is just amazing. It’s part of André Mintz his Marginalia Project. He wrote this piece of software with Processing, which can slice up a video feed horizontally in real-time and display those pieces with a one frame delay. It’s based on Zbigniew Rybczynski’s “The Fourth Dimension”.
Make sure you see the effect when he opens the door!
Displacements is an immersive film installation by Michael Naimark. He filmed 3 people in an archetypal Americana living room. The camera was standing in the middle of the room and rotated sowly. Afterwards he spray-painted the whole room white and placed a projector at the same spot of the camera. The result is a strange augmented reality effect. He did this for the first time back in 1980, this version is from 2005.
Pablo Valbuena made a name last year with his ‘Augmented Sculpture Series‘, they are a combination of 3D objects with precisely mapped video projections. Here he had full control over the composition of the 3D objects. But in his latest project called ‘Entramado‘, he took his concept outside to an urban environment in Madrid. The result is …
As always, watch the videos!
Virtual Cable could become one of the best implementations of augmented reality. It’s a car navigation system that projects a true 3D line on your windscreen. Very smart!
After seeing many research projects about touchscreen interfaces (Sony CSL, HyperPalette, SmartSkin, DataTiles, HoloWall, Pick-and-Drop, and the demo’s by JeffHan, the technology is finally coming available to the broad audience … the Apple iPhone. So what are they doing in Redmond? Well, they just launched ‘Microsoft Surface’. Don’t get your hopes up, it will cost between $5,000 and $10,000, so the people in the demo movies must be very rich.
There’s some nice video - t-shirt - masking going on in Justice’s latest video called D.A.N.C.E.
Apparently they have a good taste for music video directors.
