- TouchScreen
Todo- get Resistors (radio shack) + wire?
- will need to cut this acrylic down to size - we should aim for it to fit in a standard size picture frame
- return saw thing and get a cutting attachment for Jan's drill (test janets drill? is it really a drill or just a screwdriver?)
- or cutting drill for dremel?
- Test visibility on the acrylic sheet w/ led's..
- Draw up a plan
- Will need to measure how far away the projector and webcam need to be
- Get PVC Pipe
- Code blob detection
- Blob detection - rectify (subtract threshold + clip) then connected components analysis (fill algo?)
- tracking (ensure that blob ID's stay the same..)
- Research OSC
Links- where to find things
- Plastic
- high grit sandpaper
- Look in the paint section of your hardware store (NOT in the sander section)
- or possibly at walmart in the car section
- LED's
Application Ideas- Genome
- whole program could be multi-touch
- Performance instrument - like that crazy Kyma thing, can do chords, pressure sensitive..
- Could just send MIDI then I can use it with my existing gear.. but midi is a bit limited in terms of free - pitch range
- can set up the keys however I want (could even make it editable)..
- could have pitch bend on each key depending on where it's pressed
- tr-x0x Drum machine
- Claymod - would rock
- Multi player games - pong
- new kind of live music making app
questions- Can openCV work with video capture cards?
- A high res night security camera might be superior?
- can the software be run off my laptop?
- can I cut the acrylic with my dremel?
- yes, but not well
- a jigsaw is recommended
- what to use as a rear-projection surface.. a sheet?
- Cineflex
- how about a grey vinly shower curtain (semi transparent?)
- flame polishing?
- difficult to do consistently, don't think the edge is as transparent as sanding/buffing
- what size to make the screen
- prolly a good idea to aim for a size that fits in a standard picture frame so we can pick up a cheep frame
- Projector image keeps the 11 x 14 ratio
