Edit: I’ve added an update with images of the newly whitewashed tunnel walls. I feel lucky to have completed the shoot before everything was erased! The shoot Last weekend I completed photo image-capture of the full-length of the Enmore graffiti tunnel: 1207 photos in total down…
The 3D ‘digital conservation’ tool I’m working on has just got a new feature: you can share your view with others. This means you can send a friend or colleague a URL to a particular reconstructed location, and the view will start looking at what…
Today I started playing the fantastic game gone home, and had to laugh: the game is filled with the sort of interactive 3D models of everyday objects that I’ve been making as part of my own Consumables project. Only many many more. Gone home puts the player in…
My current project is a fairly large 3D reconstruction of a graffiti site. I’m aiming to faithfully reproduce the surface image and texture for the entire site, and allow online and tablet users to navigate interactively through it. Two concerns are the overall size of…
My recent research is looking to extend image-based 3D reconstructions through an interactive online virtual environments featuring very high resolution images, and a guided tour system. I’m currently working on modelling a densely graffitied tunnel in Sydney, but am interested in more vulnerable, remote, and…
The Graffiti Atlas project is an experiment into graffiti conservation/archives that tracks changes in a locations graffiti over time. This project has been superseded by the “Guided Tours in Virtual Environments” approach, though this newer approach is yet to include showing a progression over…
I’ve just finished the developing an idea I had a few months ago: the SkypeRobot. SkypeRobot is a nice straightforward solution for telepresence robotics: all of the point-to-point infrastructure is black-boxed and handled by someone else, as well as the specifics of the video connection. At it’s…
Here’s another FlowGraph Plugin System node. This one allows you to dynamically move actor joints/bones. Could be handy or plugging in Kinect-detected Skeletal data. The code and binaries (/binaries/Bin32/MoveBones.dll and /binaries/Bin64/MoveBones.dll) are available it’s own GitHub repository.
Nicolas Burrus’s Kinect Website has an updated version of the RGB demo that allows this sort of scanning of rooms…
Friend, Artist and aspiring Architect Melody Williams has just installed these chalk boxes in Camperdown Memorial Park. See if you can find them and have a draw. The park is located in the centre of Newtown, Sydney’s hip, alternative suburb. A long wall down the…
