Dynamic Bounding Boxes for Controlling Visualizations and AR Objects on a Massage Table

By Jason Stephens, on April 30th, 2012

This project is an account of a control mechanism’s evolution. The objective is an intuitive interface for use in Enhanced Visualization Therapy. SimpleOpenNI’s hand tracking with the kinect was clumsy at best. It proved even worse than fiducials for AR.

Ultimately I decided to use closest point tracking.

In order to get […]

Proprioception Enhancement Tool

By Jason Stephens, on March 5th, 2012

This is the 2nd version of the Proprioception Enhancement Tool (PET). I had intended to create this second version in openFrameworks, but was stymied by something I did not expect: catching up with where I had left off.

Other Faces in Other Places

By Jason Stephens, on February 13th, 2012

Face tracking projects from around the real world (I mean, Carnegie Mellon). Students in the Interactive Art and Computational Design class at Carnegie Mellon have recently posted their work using Kyle McDonalds FaceOSC face tracking software along with Greg Bornstein. Here a few examples of their work:

Alex Wolfe made an app called Face OSC […]

Spatial Literacy and Universal Digital Computation in an Analogue Universe

By Jason Stephens, on January 30th, 2012

What will be changed when we can encode and decode spaces as we do language? More importantly, what will be changed when space can encode and decode itself as we do with thought and language?

What is enabled by computers manipulating spatial data as we to text?
