Interactive 2

Going deeper into the more cinematographic aspects of the process; I realized just how unaware I was that making a fully CG video can still be very rooted in reality.

From the start I knew that I would have to learn elements of graphic design to create a strong image, but for some reason I didn’t think of it more akin Read more →

Project Soli: Controlling devices using hand gestures

It is a gesture sensing technology by Google ATAP (Advanced Technology And Project group) for human-computer interaction. It uses miniature radar technology with sensors that will keep track of gestures made by human hands and fingers.

So basically, I have combined what I have learnt over the course of this semester with this pixel patch. So you are able to view your pixelated face on the screen and as you move around the screen, 4 different sounds will play. And the trick is to get the photo taken.

This would apply the a layer of colour and when random are added it become ever changing effect.

Jit.scalebias is a tool that helps you adjust the hues of the imported movie/camera grab, through changing the values of RGB/A attributes like rscale, rbias, gscale, gbias, bscale, bbias.
