Venus & Jesus [Flash, openFrameworks] - 3D Scanning + Particle E. Posted on the rhizomatiks blog few days ago is the latest project by the team including a prototype flash application to visualise video in three dimensions with a number of parameters that can be modified in real time. The application was designed for the new music video of japanese artist Yakushimaru Etsuko called Venus & Jesus. The pixels in the video can be offset in 3D according to their colour value, converted into circles, hearts or stars, video plane twisted and much more. Consequently it also appears that an openFrameworks version of the application was also developed to increase performance for additional visual effects. The app utilises 3D scanning techniques developed by Kyle McDonald (see this article on CDM + instructable).
You can try the flash application by visiting yakushimaruetsuko.com/yksmr3dscan/. For openFrameworks version see images below.
