Slit-scan Cam

July 1st, 2008

Slit-scan Cam by Casey PughThis 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.

Chronotopic Anamorphosis

June 26th, 2008

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!

This music video for ‘Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground’ by The Whites Stripes was directed my Michael Gondry. It has a very similar look and feel as the Displacements by Michael Naimark.

Displacements

May 28th, 2008

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!

Surface

May 30th, 2007

Microsoft SurfaceAfter seeing many research projects about touchscreen interfaces (Sony CSL, HyperPalette, SmartSkin, DataTiles, HoloWall, Pick-and-Drop, and the demo’s by Jeff Han, 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.
