StereoskopixCalc is a calculator for composing shots with stereoscopic cameras. (New much improved version 10/27/08, with automatic unit conversions, instructions & lots more). (right-click or ctrl-click, then 'Download Linked File')
Requires the Max 5 Runtime. Cross platform - OS X & Windows.
For my 502a class - a stereoscopic movie player. (It's a Max/MSP/Jitter collective, so it's cross platform - OS X & Windows).
Converts from side-by-side format to anaglyph and vice versa. Requires the Max 5 Runtime.

• Time: Monday October 6 1pm-5pm.
• Place: ZML (Room 201 at the Zemeckis Center for Digital Arts).
• Instructor: Perry Hoberman
• Please RSVP to hoberman at usc dot edu; I will reply to confirm your participation.
This will be a hands-on workshop. We will have Max/MSP/Jitter installed on as many ZML Macs & PCs as possible, but participants are encouraged to install Max on their own laptops before the workshop, either by downloading the 30-day trial version, or by taking advantage of Cycling '74's special student pricing of $59 for a 9-month license.
What is Max?
Max/MSP/Jitter is an object-oriented graphical programming environment designed for music, signal processing, and multimedia. Originally developed at IRCAM in the 1980s, it is now published by Cycling '74. Max has been in use worldwide for nearly two decades by performers, composers, artists, teachers, and students.
Due to the fact that there's been a grand total of two RSVPs for this afternoon's Max/MSP/Jitter workshop, it's been cancelled.

Here's the max patch for part 3 of the tutorial.
I haven't had a chance to write up the tutorial itself, so for now, just download it, try it out - then examine the patch and see if you can figure out how it all works.

Here's the introductory patch that we built in the September 4th class.

Jitter is incompatible with Java 1.6
A fix or this from the processing forums:
1) On Windows, find the file C:\Program Files\Cycling '74\MaxMSP 4.6\Cycling '74\java\max.java.config.txt
2) Open it with a text editor (Wordpad works best)
3) Find the line that says: max.jvm.option -Xms16m
4) Change it to read: max.jvm.option -Xms64m
5) Save the file
Here is a concise all-in-one Max primer, designed around a Quicktime player patch that we built during the Max/MSP workshop last semester:

And here is the actual Max patch.

If you search the Arduino site for 'servo', you can turn up a couple of other methods as well, but I think Tom Igoe's method (above) is the best.
