Wiimote tracking demo went well again. The Boids helped, even if they preferred pure geometric forms to flocking.

Wii Head Tracking for Teleimmersive Dance
[UPDATED: apparently the camera really does have 1024x768 resolution]
I though it was about time for a post about my undergraduate research at UIUC. I’m very lucky that research I needed to graduate has turned out to be so interesting. I have a lot of creative leeway on my part of the project, which is called TEEVE: TEleimmersion for EVErybody. This group has done various projects in...

I decided to take a chance and define chat pretty liberally to include Twitter. Luckily, the instructor thought this was a good idea. My plan was to label users as sources or sinks depending on their relative numbers of friends and followers (I was inspired by marine...

HUDs, Projectors, GPS, INS, and SLAM
One of the great things about augmented reality technology is that it’s relatively cheap. The cost of components like webcams, board-mounted cameras, slim PCs, heads-up displays, batteries, hand-held projectors, microcontrollers, GPS receivers, and other electronics - their prices have mostly dropped to levels where hobbyist researchers like me can afford to play with them. Mostly....
my twitter visualization went over well… @wilw dominated the screen, of course. also, found out @DAVID_LYNCH tweets.
