Project Description: This
project is a continuation of a two previous Mirrorplay
projects that experiment with mirrors that selectively capture a reflection. In previous versions I used the mouse and physical frames to determine
the area to be captured. In this case,
I wanted to use “medium motion” as the method of setting the area of the mirror
to digitize. The application keys out
the unchanging background and ghosts the fast changing foreground.
When the foreground stays the same for a while, it gets permanently added
to the reflection.
I
am trying to install this in the storefront windows in the base of Tisch.
Technical Notes:
This was written as a Java application using QuickTime for video digitizing.
Once installed, it will use rear-screen video projection.
