Done.

Final installation. Show on Friday. Can't believe that's the year over.

Finally......

The final patch.

Installation begins....

Finishing off the installation today. Got the plinth and equipment set up, need a dongle for the Imac though but I think everything else is done. Just need to get ready for the presentation on Monday now.

Eye tracking

Eye tracking is working better now. Face detection has been no problem and triggers instantly in Max/MSP but eyes were a little bit more difficult to pinpoint. Seems to be a bit more stable today.
Also made an outline mode capture too. I like it as it's simple but retains the idea of computer and person mixing, but not sure where it would fit in with the rest of the installation. Might become overkill.........

Augmented Reality working

Phew - got my code working better for the augmented reality material.

Back to reality

So after a very nice break in California - where I saw lots of great design, interactive work and art (so it wasn't just a holiday...!) I am back into the reality that there are only a few weeks to go until my Masters assessment - and the exhibition is breathing down my neck. Got the majority of it sorted, but now just need to tweak some areas and add the finishing touches....

Data moshing

Having fun now that I have processing and Max talking, and also downloaded some samples from JMyron too to add to the whole process. I'm currently building a patch to include datamoshing, so that when people interact it will look just like a live image capture, however as they move around there are glitches applied so that the image slowly deteriorates and changes, but, as you stay still, it returns back to it's original image. This ties in nicely with my mirror metaphor and also the surreal idea that when looking in a mirror are we really seeing the real image - what happens when we look away or move - does the image have a parallel experience?
