Synapse for Kinect

Synapse for Kinect
SYNAPSE for Kinect Update: There’s some newer Kinect hardware out there, “Kinect for Windows”. This hardware is slightly different, and doesn’t work with Synapse. Be careful when purchasing, Synapse only supports “Kinect for Xbox”. Update to the update: There appears to also be newer “Kinect for Xbox” hardware out there. Model 1414 Kinects work with Synapse, but I’m getting reports that the newer 1473 models do not work. Update the third: Synapse doesn’t work on Windows 8, sorry.Synapse is an app for Mac and Windows that allows you to easily use your Kinect to control Ableton Live, Quartz Composer, Max/MSP/Jitter, and any other application that can receive OSC events.

Our Place - A Photographic Celebration of the Worlds Heritage Synth Patchwerk lets you control a massive analog synthesizer from your browser, and streams the results back to you and everyone connected. The interface on this site is linked to a physical synth cabinet connected to the world's largest homemade modular synth, currently housed at the MIT Museum. Turn a knob here, and Patchwerk will turn a motorized knob on the cabinet. If someone at the Museum grabs a knob, you'll see it turn too. When you first connect, you'll be in OBSERVE mode, which means that you can hear the synth and see what the controllers are doing, but won't be able to activate the knobs or buttons yourself. Patchwerk relies on HTML5, and requires an up-to-date and standards-compliant web browser.

Carnegie Mellon University - CMU Graphics Lab - motion capture library ceriscope Technologies d'impression 3 d ous Trois dimensions - Valeur Imprimer 3D printing has developed since the end of the 1990s, and has really been honed in the last two years. The procedure involves taking thin two-dimensional cross-sections of a 3D object. These cross-sections are then produced by agglomerating powder using a bonding agent. As they are stacked on top of each other, the cross-sections form a three-dimensional object. The objects obtained are made from a polymer resembling plaster. They need to be treated in order to obtain the desired physical properties. After printing, it is possible to increase the object’s volume by 30% using specific processes. A wide range of post processing opens up possibilities for numerous applications.

Martin Krasser's Blog Tendances - Comment l’impression 3D va révolutionner le monde et le « retail » ! Publié le 03 mars 2013 Imaginez en tant que marque, pouvoir téléporter en quelques minutes des produits directement chez votre client… Plus de stocks, plus d’intermédiaires, plus de frais de transport, de livraison, de packaging, et une distribution potentiellement mondiale… Ce qui semble digne d’un récit de science-fiction est pourtant bel et bien en train de devenir une réalité. Sommes-nous à l'aune d'une nouvelle révolution ? Par Emmanuel Vivier, co-fondateur du Hub Institute... Ce qui semble digne d’un récit de science-fiction est pourtant bel et bien en train de devenir une réalité. Et ce grâce à l’impression 3D dont les innovations techniques connaissent une accélération sans précédent depuis quelques mois. L’impression 3D ? Il s’agit tout simplement d’une machine à même d’imprimer couche après couche (un peu comme un pistolet à colle piloté par un ordinateur) un objet depuis un modèle en 3D. Télécharger des atomes et non plus des octets Tout cela vous paraît fou ?

6 Stop Motion Beginner Mistakes (and how to avoid them) | Stopmotion Explosion Don't be a n00b! Apply these techniques and your animated films will be better, get more likes, and amaze your audience. Animation Flicker A lot of stop motion films suffer from flicker issues. Is the camera auto-exposure turned on? (Here's a video which shows how to turn off a webcam's auto exposure with the AMCAP application). Are there lights behind you? Camera Shake When you're animating a film with toy characters, like LEGO minifigs, you want the camera to be as still as possible, or move gracefully, like a camera does in a feature film. What NEVER looks good, is a camera image that's constantly wobbling off-kilter, as the animator bumps it with their sleeve. Some animations made with larger figures, like this Paper Mario animation get away with camera shake, because the action is happening all over the room. Low Frame Rate A lot of new animators post movies they've made with still-cameras. Turn down the volume for this one ;-). Poor Camera Angles Blurry Images No Story
