Trinity

This project uses MAX for everything. The performance is executed live using one MacBook Pro and MAX/MSP/JITTER to launch audio samples, realtime visuals done with Jitter and the interaction using CV.JIT with a PointGrey camera. The entire system runs smoothly at 60fps.

Fantastic piece! @carsol which particular PointGrey camera did you use?

WOW! Amazing work.
I have a question; The visuals, are they generated using pre recorded animation or is it computer generated? if so, what Objects have you used to generate the visuals? I assume that you have used different effects on some basic shapes of some sort?

Again! Beautiful work! KUDOS!

Its a FireFlyMV. Very good relationship price/performance.
I use a couple of firewire repetares to get 25 meters long firewire connection. Cables and repetaters also from PointGrey.
Also take a look to Flea3 i hear that also is very responsive to NIR and a big advantage of GigE interface... much easier! but i guess must be expensive than FFMV...

thanks Ricardo!
all is Jitter and done in realtime without preproduced material. i think this is the way to achieve very high and responsive interaction.
what you see is from... plane point displacements using optical flow objects from cv.jit external, to simple textures coming from jit.bfg and paired to gl.ligh, the amazing external boids and a lighting torus... and the objects, the common ones.. gl.mesh, gl.gridshape etc... for effects i use the common shaders coming with Jitter to achieve feedbacks, bright/contrast and some displacements

Interesting. Cloud i ask at what resolution you render in And output?

carsol's icon

yep.. 1600x1200

What projector did you use? Did you use IR for position tracking, if so, did you use an IR emitter with it? What kind?

Amazing work, looking forward to hopefully seeing more in the future!

Wow, nice! I m looking into jit.bfg. Thanks for the input.

the videoprojector was a panasonic pt5700 with 0.8 lens and i use 4 DIY focus with 70 850nm IR leds each to fill 9x7 meters stage (7m heigh)

Very inspiring. Now I'm looking at those cameras...

jeremystewart87's icon

Can I ask what type of lens you used on the camera? Did you purchase a glass IR filter or use a gel/polyester for the camera?

Thanks!
