Infrared Light + Computer Vision Workshop in Processing & openFrameworks

Date Wednesday, June 2, 2010

Time 5:00pm - 7:00pm

Location ARTSLab, MSC04 2570 131 Pine Street, NE, Albuquerque, NM 87131

Description

For the first XD Group workshop, hosted graciously by the ARTSLab, we will focus on integrating Computer Vision (CV) + Infrared (IR) Light setups in Processing and openFrameworks for Experiential Art and Design projects. The 1st hour will focus on how  to get CV + IR working in Processing, with a 10 minute presentation at the beginning of the hour. The 2nd hour will focus on how to do the same within openFrameworks. 

Joe Dean from Lumenscapes (http://lumenscapes.com/) will be helping with the IR lighting setup.

This is a free event that is open to the public. To get the most out of the workshop, bring a laptop with Processing (http://processing.org/) and / or openFrameworks (http://www.openframeworks.cc/) installed.

The XD Group

The XD Group was formed by Dr. Woohoo (http://www.drwoohoo.com) with the need to either disseminate or create innovative and open-source approaches that solve challenges within the realm of Experiential Art + Design (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experience_design) in a format that is conducive to learning. The group meets on a monthly basis where each workshop begins with a 10 min presentation by the expert outlining the current challenge and solution, if applicable, followed by a collaborative workshop where the audience learns how to resolve the challenge with the help of the expert and/or participates in solving the problem at hand. Taking an agnostic approach to the development tools & frameworks, the XD Group embraces open-source frameworks (openFrameworks, Cinder, processing, HYPE, RhinoScript, etc.) that can be leveraged over time and across multiple mediums, platforms, surfaces and machines.
