Adobe After Effects Cheat Sheet OSX
Overview with the most useful keyboard shortcuts for After Effects CS4 (Mac OS).
Codelog
Different how-to posts on creative technology like topics as Arduino, Processing, Computer Vision, OSC and more. For creative (wannabe) nerds that want to create cool things with technology themselves. If you don’t fall in this category you still might be interested to see what I can do for you..
Flash as3: Framedifferencing collission detection (hitTest)
Combination of Frame Differencing and hitTest in as3. Inspired by the Processing sketch of Andy Best where you can pop bubbles if there is movement. By checking the difference between two frames (current and the previous one) we know where there was movement. The movement is stored in a bitmap and with that we can … Read more
MediaLAB Amsterdam: Quartz Composer Flickr stream
Flickr to polaroid style picture stream in Quartz Composer.
Arduino Moodlight library
Arduino library to control an RGB led with Hue, Saturation and Brigthness values.
Arduino Scratch mapping example
If you want to use sensor data in your application you probably want to map the values to a different range. Below a visualisation of the formula that you can use for that.
Flash QRcode reader as3
QRreader example that uses the QR Code Reader by Logosware (libspark project). Code is improved with Adaptive Threshold (by Quasimondo) and other small modifications to improve the QRcode detection.
MediaLAB Amsterdam : U-turm – Scryption
In the MediaLAB Amsterdam (Lab of the Applied University of Amsterdam) I’ve supervised a few project teams to help them find the right technical solutions for their projects. I’d like to highlight two of them.
Arduino Flash communication AS3 – Messenger
Example how to setup serial communication between Flash and Arduino in combination with the Messenger library for Arduino. This is usefull if you want to use Arduino in a different way than as a sensorbox (if you want that check out the As3glue Firmata combination in my other post).
Arduino – Unity serial communication
Control parameters in Unity with sensors connected to the Arduino and control actuators connected to Arduino from Unity.
Computer Vision : Blob tracking – Face detection
In this ‘Computer Vision’ article you can read about Blob detection and Face detection. I’ve included some video’s to give you an idea about the techniques and links to the most relevant code examples.
