Cycle Project 3
Posted: December 10, 2020 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »In my Cycle 3 project, I wanted to get a bit better filter with a harder edge to edit out the background of the images. Alex and I worked together and added some TT Sharpen effects, Gauzian blur and TT Sorbel Edge Detection. These filters stacked on top of each other allowed me to get my entire body cut out from the background. I think if I had something like a green screen in the background, the effect would be even more precise.
My major goal for the third iteration of the project was adding some things to make the user experience more interesting. I added some sound effects when buttons were pushed on the makey makey, as well as some short animations that would play after the user took a picture with a hat on.
I also added a third environment, which is a party scene. Overall, this project allowed me to synthesize many of the tools we were working with during the class. I used the makey makey as the interface. I also used the Leapmotion hand sensor to allow users to rotate and resize an image.
Much of my work on this project involved compositing, as I used the depth camera to capture the image of the user as well as the filter that would allow for the removal of the background.
If I were to continue on this project further, I would want to take the composited image of the user with the hat and put them into a game like situation, perhaps something like some of the games that came with the game boy camera software. I found that I really enjoyed designing experiences that users would interact with and trying to figure out what would make them clear and easy to use.
