Jordan’s Final Project Critique and stuff
Name: Flegs
An interactive installation in the Gates’ Helix that shows what is really happening on the other side of the wall.

The project:
Ideally, this would be an installation in the Gates Helix near the helix entrance to the fourth floor. A camera will detect people on the outside of the helix, and project fake feet in their place.
How this will presented:
I want to be a part of the main exhibit, and having the installation in Gates isn’t being part of the exhibit. What I can do is use a table flipped on its side as a faux wall. I’ll need a table, and a stand/desk for my laptop, my camera, and my projector. Looks like I’ll just be showing a video and a poster. If a TV+DVD player can be provided, that’d be great. Otherwise, my laptop and one of my lab’s 22″ monitors could probably do the trick.I’ll also need a poster stand.
I have class on Wed from noon to 4:30 straight…but I’ll definitely make an effort to be there at least an hour and a half early. Patrick mentioned we can set up in the morning, so I’ll probably do that.
Cheers!
Need:
TV + DVD Player
Poster Stand

I installed Flegs today for two hours! It was a lot of fun and I had some great support.
Here’s a pic from setting up:

look up OF sync framerate
ofSetVerticalSync(true);
thanks for finding that!
cool idea. maybe you can make animations in affter effcts (not too hard to learn if you don’t know it already), export a video of the animation, and then load that video into oF instead of a still image
Do the images need to stretch?
Put some limits on the horizontal stretch factor, like: e.g. between 0.6 and 1.6, but not more.
Karl sez: make a test video at the right time of day, then tweak your code to work with that. Undefine #USE_LIVE_VIDEO in the oF project for your testing phase.
GL: make a video of people using your project in situ. Show reaction shots. For the final exhibition, show a DVD of your video from the Gates center, and a poster (with some oF screenshots) explaining your project.
