This event will focus on how Processing - an open source programming language and environment for people who want to work with images, animation, and sound - can be used to interact and control electronics and other physical devices. Two physical computing initiatives related to Processing will be presented: Osman Khan [http://www.osmankhan.com/] will explore the Arduino project [http://arduino.berlios.de/] and Sean Dockray [http://spd.e-rat.org/] will present the Wiring project [http://wiring.org.co/]. In addition, some recent Arduino/Wiring projects developed at UCLA will be demonstrated.

And here is an analgyph picture of a some of the luminaries who were there.

Tutorial for assignment #2

Here's the tutorial for this week's assignment:

anaglyph.pdf
How to distort two-dimensional shapes to create 3D planes that recede in depth.

Work your way through the tutorial, and then try these techniques on some images of your own. And keep taking stereo photos!

And here are the two tutorials from last week, in case you don't have them already.

anaglyphLayers.pdf
How to set up a workspace for anaglyph 3D images.

anaglyphCorrection.pdf
How to correct mismatched stereoscopic image pairs.
