Camera Research – LIDAR // Matt Epler

By Matthew Epler, on March 16th, 2012

LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a type of remote sensing technology that uses lasers to gather geo-spatial data. It is used in both civilian and military applications.

The range of LIDAR capabilities is extensive. On the ground, small units are used to scan objects or spaces using a dense array of laser pulses to […]

Have sex with famous people (living or historical!), large fuzzy animals, aliens, whatever. Each would require different poses, would suggest you adjust for […]

“Follow Hand” assignment – Matt Epler

By Matthew Epler, on January 29th, 2012

I made a simple target tracker that displays information about the hands position relative to the screen width and height, and the relative distance to the Kinect in feet.

Thoughts on Parsing Space – Matt Epler

By Matthew Epler, on January 28th, 2012
