When is the last time that an electronic device impaled you?
For me, it had been far too long.
Enter… The Arduino King Cobra! (TM, R, Copyright, Patent Pending… not really).
I had some new parts and wanted to build something during my lunch hour recently. This is what I came up with.
I call these sessions “One Hour Hackathons”. Only, it’s just me, and I rarely time them, and yes, they are lonely.
This is a semi-fake experiment which I believe could work, but which I have not fully prototyped into a functional state. It is faked to show a concept.
By treating plain paper with a mix of food-grade ascorbic acid and a solution of UV ink infused with a setting agent, an LCD panel could cheaply be modified with UV LED backlights to become a low cost “photo-copier”.
Useful for quick copies when away from the office or when a printer is too bulky.
Monotone only. Low resolution.
My First attempt at two handed control of a 3D application. It actually feels pretty natural. Need some more gestures set up for brush size, strength, zoom, pan etc.
It’s better suited to kiosks and short use situations. Mudbox was just for fun, and I certainly couldn’t get the level of precision with this method as a mouse or tablet. Just fer kicks!
Though I will say that traditional sculptors do that all the time. Great arm workout! I think once the Kinect or a sequel to it have the resolution and intelligence to track fingers individually, this’ll get really exciting!…. Said me in 2010… before the Leap Motion was available. 
Simple marker track used to create low resolution 3d sculpture. I saw this done with furniture once (of course in Europe where crazy stuff happens) and always wanted to try it!
Thanks to Ikinema, Vicon and Autodesk for making such cool-a$$ products!
Simple projection display I built for a FIEA art show event. PVC and yarn slapped together a few hours before the show turned out OK, and gave a cool looking effect.
3D models credited to the students who created them.
Using Brekel Kinect plugin and tracker (www.brekel.com), and Motion Builder’s physics simulation, we can interact with 3D characters in real-time without any programming magic.
I’m playing around with creating some sort of virtual dressing room I guess. 
Pumping Realtime mocap data into Maya using Ikinema plugin.
Using the iPad as a trackable virtual motion capture camera. Currently working on getting frame-rate and interactivity speed up to par. Also working on getting a real-time OGL 3D viewer on iPad which accesses the data stream from Blade.
By doing this, the iPad does the heavy work and any number of viewers can use the virtual camera system with just an iPad or iPhone.
