The demo in class on Wednesday showed the interface responding to 4\u00a0scenarios:<\/p>\n
The interaction was made in a few days, and honestly, I am surprised it was as accurate and reliable as it was…<\/p>\n
The user presence was just a blob output.\u00a0I used a “Brightness Calculator” with the “Difference” actors to judge the violent movement (the blob velocity was unreliable with my equipment). Detecting “too many humans”\u00a0was just another “Brightness Calculator”. I tried more complicated actors and patches, but these were the ones that worked in the setting.<\/p>\n
Most of what I have been spending my time solving is an issue with interlacing.\u00a0I hoped I could build something with the lenses I have, order a custom lens (they are only $12 a foot + the price to cut), or create a parallax barrier. Unfortunately, creating a high quality lens does not seem possible with the materials I have (2 of the 8″ X 10″ sample packs from Microlens), and a parallax barrier blocks light exponentially based on the number of viewing angles (2 views blocks 50%, 3 blocks 66%… 10 views blocks 90%). On Sunday I am going to try a patch that blends interlaced pixels to fix the problem with the lines on the screen not lining up with the lenses (it basically blends interlaces to align\u00a0a non-integral number of pixels with the lines per inch of the lens).<\/p>\n
Worse case scenario… A ready to go lenticular monitor is $500, the lens designed to work with a 23″ monitor is $200, and a 23 inch monitor with a pixel pitch of .270 mm is about $130… One way or another, this goose is going to meet the public on 12\/07\/15…<\/p>\n
Links I have found useful are…<\/p>\n
